Peanut Shells
Why do peanut shells have dents?
———- from Bob Pease of Pacifica, CA
They didn’t use to. Then our quality control standards went the same way our high school graduation and standardized test scores went, straight down the sewer. Who operates that sewer and where it leads is anybody’s guess. There are some who just chalk it up to entropy, but I think the fact that we’ll now accept dented peanuts as somehow “normal” says a lot more about the erosion of values in this country than it does about peanuts. Sure, smooth peanuts probably still exist, but they’re only served on certain tables in our nation’s capitol, if you get my drift.
