   In Eric Carle’s Very Hungry Caterpillar, the Tuesday food the caterpillar eats is “two pears” but I always read it aloud as “a pair of pears” because I feel it was a missed opportunity.

   My friend owns an apple orchard. He says that at the end of the season, when the over-ripe fruits have fallen off the tree, it starts to ferment of its own accord. Then the racoons eat them and get drunk.

   Tony – I also do not care for mole sauce.

     Pro tip: Leave the party BEFORE the raccoons start to karaoke.

     This is something I’m always amused by and fascinated with! All sorts of places, when fruit gets overripe and falls to the ground, it ferments, and animals eat it and get drunk!

     I’ve heard of this with monkeys, wasps… rhinos, maybe?… and now raccoons!

   I can see turning down mole sauce, but have you ever tried the molé? That little mark? Worlds of difference.

     Yeah, yeah, whatever. I don’t know how to make the little mark, okay? I was too busy having a podcast every single week for 11 years! And being the coolest kid on campus! 😛
