Now Viewing:

A particular question has been preying on my mind for quite a while now. Well, actually only about five minutes, but still that's quite a long time when you have nothing much else to do. Anyways, enough canoodling the words of this language so lets move bravely on to the question that has baffled human beings for decades, centuries even:

I've just eaten a handful of grated cheese, followed by two slices of ham, and then two pieces of toast (that being, in this case, toasted bread) with butter and jam on them. Does this equate to eating a ham and cheese sandwich, followed by eating a truckload of jam out of a jar?

. . . Now there's philosophy if I ever saw it . . .

So anyway, I feel that this question raises concerns about the origin of the words 'jam' and 'jar'. Is it just coincidence that they're both three letters and start with the same two letters, when they also seem so close and passionate with each other all the time? I really think that's a little too coincidental to be true. They are so well connected. What do you buy jam in? A jar. Well, usually, unless you get that new jam-ish stuff which comes in a squeezy tube thing. But the point is there aren't many other foodstuffs that are available ONLY in jars, so one of these words MUST originate from the other. It can't just be a coincidence then. See, I proved it.

I guess what it all boils down to in the end, though, once the kettle of philosophy and related crap has been going for a few hours (not really going, though, otherwise we wouldn't know when it had 'boiled down to anything' as it were, seeing as how it wouldn't be there any more), is that we should always follow the one rule that has attained, for homo sapiens everywhere, the current position that we, as a species, hold in the world:

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
