That's three-year-old news. Can't you do any better?

To me it was news. We're not all American, you know. There's actually
a whole world out there (don't tell anyone).

I am one of the 50% that answer stupid polls incorrectly just because.

When I took a driving test to get a Florida license during one of my
trips back to the States many years ago one of the questions on the
written exam was a triangular roadsign with a car moving ahead leaving
wiggly skid marks behind it. One of the multiple-choice options was
"Drunken Driver Ahead". I dearly wanted to pick that one but didn't
because I wasn't sure I could spare the point. (It turned out I could
have done.)

At election time I tend to get a lot of pollsters calling. We have three
main parties, plus the Greens pretending they have a shot. The questions
are typically which party do thin think has the best platform, which one
has the best leader, which one has the best local candidate. While most
people are likely to support one party across the board, I make a point
of varying my choices across all the options, maybe showing preference
for one party, another party's platform, a different one's leader and a
different one's local candidate.

Anyone trying to vote strategically based on poll results is going to be
messed up. I doubt that I am the only one doing it, and I have no
qualms about ****ing up the results of their corrupted research methods.
Given the number of people in the country and the sample sizes they
use, the odds of me getting one random call during an election are
pretty slim. The chances of getting two are even lower. For me to get a
half dozen calls at random are beyond the laws of probability.

About people who deliberately giving wrong answers - this is from the comic strip "Arlo & Janis," Nov. 8, 1991.

Gene, the couple's son, was probably supposed to be 9 at the time.

GENE (speaking to Janis):

"These people from a TV station came to our class today...

"They asked us to find the US on a blank map of the world!

"We all pretended we couldn't!

"We love to put those guys on!"

That's funny.

Here's an interesting test for real.
Show Americans (especially) a blank map of the US
with all the states marked but not labeled.

See how many states you can correctly identify.
I did pretty good but didn't get them all right.
I think I missed about 8 or so.

I'll have to try again now years later and see
how I do.

Oddly, last time I missed Virginia. ;-D

Produced by brown cows, Bruce.

That article confirms to me there is a big need for ingredient lists
among Americans.

ingredient lists

The ingredients are listed right on the chocolate milk carton for
anybody who cares to see them.

People of a certain age have trouble reading fine print.

Got another place where I can read it? I hit the paywall.

But in the meantime, it reminds me of a funny story for small children that is undeservedly out of print:

"The Adventures of Silly Billy" (1961), by Tamara Kitt (real name, Beatrice Schenk de Regniers).

The kid plants a garden with popped corn - and serves hot water to the hens to make them lay hard-boiled eggs. When his parents make fun of him, he sets out to prove he's not silly by finding someone sillier than he is. Does he ever!

Yes, cows get mentioned too - but to tell more would spoil the story.

I'm not a fan of children's books but I have a copy of 'The Tale of
Fatty Coon' by Arthur Scott Bailey that belonged to my father.
Initially it belonged to his older brother. It was probably handed down
to my uncle, maybe from an older classmate. A fun read with interesting
moral lessons. Don't steal the farmer's corn! If you cross the road to
get to the corn you might get run over by an automobile! A 1915 automobile.

Steal and eat the corn when it's green and you'll get a whopping
belly-ache. Your mother told you not to! Yeah, fun lessons featuring a
fat raccoon. Nice interesting plate/illustrations in the book.

I have another primer/reader that contains fairy tales. 'Story Hour
Readers Revised Book Two', Coe & Christie. Ida Coe, Pd.M and Alice
Christie Dillon, 1914, 1923. I've obviously got the later edition. LOL

First tale in that book is called 'Queen Mab'. Hmmm, I remember
Queen Mab being mentioned in Shakespeare plays. Also in the list of
stories is the ubiquitous 'Three Wishes'. Be careful! Again the plate
illustrations in these old books are fun.

I like these books because they've been handed down.

You add chocolate syrup to milk. I didn't read the article. I never liked
chocolate milk.
