Why doesn’t it surprise me that California can’t see the forest for the trees?
Why doesn’t dog lay eggs?

“Chip clip stuck on finger”. Well…um…er…I think the metro-Detroit/Tri-County (Wayne, Macome, Oakland) areas were once known for having the most potato-chip eaters per capita, or something like that…
(flounders hopelessly for an explanation, has none; now craves potato chips)
