    [now this is an old one...]
    
    Driving down the street. There it was. A new specialty shop. “Unnatural Foods! Just for You!” so said the sign on the window. I parked and went in.
    
    Twinkies and Ding Dongs lay scattered across the floor. Racks of soda stood everywhere.
    
    Mechanically separated hot dogs and lunch meat abounded. A sausage gave me a wave. Two bacon strips stood up and sang me a duet.
    
    “Whole Milk and Gourmet Ice Cream!” screamed a sales sign. Now those I didn’t know were bad for me…
    
    “Get Your Salad Dressing Here!” said another.
    
    “Get Your Saturated Fat Here!” said the sign over the butter and margarine.
    
    “The Best Processed Foods on the Planet!” said the huge TV dinner section.
    
    “We Got Your Salt Here!” said the wall of crackers.
    
    I wandered around and stocked up the cart big time. I noticed a little display counter in the corner. I approached. “Get Your Health Insurance Here!“ said all the little brochures. I picked up a couple of those, too.
    
    As I left the store, I noticed the sign was gone. Whoever had put it up had taken it down. The <snipped> logo that was underneath remained.

    Two chickens crossed the runway...
    
    And nobody cared. After all. They were two chickens crossing the runway. Everyone already knew they had done it to get to the other side. Their arrival at same was uneventful. They continued on their way.
    
    Two turtles crossed the runway. Slow they were, of course. But they made it. Presumably their motive was the same as that of the chickens. They, too, continued on their way. Again nobody cared.
    
    Chickens? Turtles? What’s the difference?
    
    Two geese flew across the runway. A plane was taking off. Everybody cared.
