Sweetcorn

The ceremonial pre-moving cleaning of the freezer revealed the following odd fact: Every single drawer had loose sweetcorn rolling around at the bottom. Coincidence? I think not.

The sweetcorn are conspiring!

Egon.

Hm, perhaps you should interrogate those who seal packages.

Seven different people, seven different drawers, and seven loads of sweetcorn. This spells intrigue or seven sweetcorn dwarves. Food plus fairy tales. Intriguing.

I tend to get loads of peas in mine. Could say something about the hygiene standards of my family.

I wonder how much more trivial this could go.

About the corn: I thought it amaizing that no one has discovered this effect before.


We find pieces of mummified capsicum and dried onion peel.


[Is 'pieces' spelt correctly. It doesn't look right to me but 'peices' looks more wronger. Any comments, and maybe this may become a future thread topic on things that are correct but look wrong.]
