Regarding the Campbell's Soup piece, I coined an expression many years ago that speaks to this:

"If mould doesn't eat it neither should you!"

Laurie, bone dry is best form of humor, I find. The audience decides what to make of it. Thanks for reading. Keep going.

If we lose our curiosity, we become boring! Love this post Paul.

I am fond of that aphorism, Lauren, that says to be interesting, one must be interested. I used it in the post of course. And when I meet people who exhibit interestedness in abundance, I always want to be more like them.
