Little known fact

Trivia Time

Who remembers Buckwheat from The Little Rascals?

Little known fact…He became a Muslim.
His new name was…Karem….of Wheat.
That was told to me years ago by my cousin Gary.

I have not eaten Cream of Wheat since then…until today.
I bought a box back in the days of empty shelves, along with Oatmeal. Those were all I could find. They were stacked on a lonesome shelf where toilet paper should have been.

Obviously I thought of the joke at breakfast.
The contents of the little packet did not look like much in the bowl, so I threw in a dollar and made Buck Wheat…which again took me to the joke.

It is rare, if not often, that a joke has two key ingredients.

For those emotionally and humorously handicapped, “Buck,” is what Cool Guys like Me call a dollar.

So I’ve been eating oats and wheat. If someone comes up with a cereal made out of hay, I may start hanging out in the corral.
