Peanut problems

[Superfly]

OK, so I'm eating peanuts (in the shell) and I'm encountering a few mind-bending problems. (I've had a few post-work beers)

1) You're sitting there, chomping on peanuts, enjoying the salty goodness, when you chomp into one that, on the outside looks fine, but tastes like complete crap!

2) I just opened a peanut that was, heretofore, a sealed, 2-compartment nut. Cracked it open and counted only one nut. Where did the other one go?

3) Opening a fine, 2-compartment nut, expecting to find the fraternal peanut twins...similar in appearance and taste. Find one perfectly shaped and roasted nut, the other, a shriveled, hard mass 1/32nd the size of it's sibling. What happened here?

I suggest forming an international oversight committee to ensure the uniform quality of peanuts. I'll be the president.

1. All you do is drink beer and bust nuts

3. So? Isn't that what every red-blooded

American should be doing? On a Friday? After Work?

2. I heretofor proclaim that the peanut is neither a "pea" nor a "nut"!!!

It is a "legume".
