This is a family blog.<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>What is a Brazilian wax and why would someone want to smear wax on a Brazilian? Why not a Panamanian? Or a Cuban?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Brazilian wax is sought after by many discerning record collectors (preferably 180 gram vinyl).  You should never smear the wax, but store it in plastic sleeves in a temperature-controlled room with average humidity.<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Can you name two paradoxes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: The fact that doxes only come in pairs is itself a paradox, and when this is sentence is multipled by two (as it must be to satisfy the definition of paradox&#8217;s criteria) creates two paradoxes.  It is impossible to name anything less than two paradoxes.<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Why is a &#8220;panhandler&#8221; a bum or hobo and not a chef or a dishwasher?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Doesn&#8217;t everyone know this already?  &#8220;Panhandlers&#8221; are the people that handle your food and dish-cleaning.  Chefs and dishwashers serve in strictly supervisory positions.  It is the panhandlers that are the grimy core of the culinary arts.  <\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>What are the three worst cliche&#8217;s?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: For this, look no further than the films of Joel Schumacher. <\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>How do you handle a hungry man?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Get a Panhandler (see above)<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>I suffer from erectile dysfunction, meaning I have trouble getting up in the morning. Any suggestions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Nope, no suggestions here.  Good luck with that.<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Name three of your favorite wastes of time besides blogging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: 1) Drawing mustaches on Kate Bush pictures 2) Removing mustaches from Adolph Hitler pictures 3) Writing fan fiction about Kate Bush destroying the Nazis with the power of her music (I&#8217;m calling it Vainglorious Bushterds)<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Would George Washington have used a wire brush to clean his wooden teeth?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Nope.  Ivory.  Would we expect any less from our first president?<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Say I won the lottery. What would be the best way to blow the money? Beer and hookers or the stock market?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: I don&#8217;t understand the question. I thought the stock market was underpinned by hookers and beer.<\/p>\n<p>Doc asks:<br \/><span>Sorry. I was just riffing there for a moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: This is not a question.<\/p>\n<p>Randal Graves:<br \/><span>How does one riff like Doc without a guitar?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Typing quickly and repeatedly hitting the &#8220;Submit&#8221; button is a good start.<\/p>\n<p>Jin:<br \/><span>Haahaa!!! Bravo gentlemen. No topping all that so I&#8217;ll just await the answers.<br \/>\ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Will you await the answers?  (yes, you will).  Note that I have inserted a question for you and answered it.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan:<br \/><span>I know why the chicken crossed the road, but why did he cross back again after that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: You have to provide more information.  There are lots of chickens crossing the road, with their own peculiar reasons.  I can&#8217;t give you any info until I am sure we are speaking of the same chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Freida Bee:<br \/><span>Why are we here?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Hm, didn&#8217;t another blog post address this existential question?
