Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.

Okay, I'm kind of dense today, will someone please explain Jasdip's post for me? I can't figure it out.

Rusty you how sometimes when you eat corn it doesn't get digested and come out in your poop whole?

RE: Jasdip's post - -

Often, not always, corn kernels go through the human digestive system without being broken down. They come out whole, even though a person thought that they were chewing thoroughly.

Unhappily, that doesn't happen with candy corn, you get every last calorie every time.

Thanks, Kitty and Jim! Guess my eyesight is off, too, I didn't realize those were corn kernels.

I was really off on Jasdips post - I thought that was toast.

Thanks rusty for asking and to those who explained it.

I purposely posted a vague smile, just to see how many would get it! :-)

It took me a minute too when I first saw it.

Jasdip, that's just corny.

I thought they were pieces of toast. Better get my glasses checked!

Thanks for the explanation...I thought they were marshmallows and the dark one had been roasted...made zero sense!

OK heres what I thought it was. I thought they were bars of soap and a kid got his mouth washed out with it. the part about the shower I couldn't figure out

I saw corn right away. So my glasses must be working right now. I laughed.

Good to know I'm not the only one that didn't recognise the corn kernels. The dialogue makes sense when you know it's corn. Not so much when you're thinking toast or marshmallows or some kind of vanilla cookie with chocolate on the bottom.

I had to get the magnifying glass to get their talk - but recognized them right away ... and the closer guy did say that he'd seen the bedraggled one - " ... get eaten".

Maybe my lack of teeth aided my task of recognizing them.

And I think you'd agree, ava, that there was a kernel of truth in their story.
