    By asking what’s castor oil, Calvin called Roslyn’s bluff.

    (Try finding castor oil in the supermarket.)

    Give him castor oil and there’s no way he could lie down all evening.

    Speaking of things that have gone missing, do you still have a speaking clock? Does anyone actually use it?

    When I was kid, we had a product called “Castoria”. I hadn’t recalled that in many years, for obvious reasons.

    I don’t recall ever having a desire to oil my castor.

    I think I read once that castor oil was a remedy from the Nineteenth Century for the malnutrition that comes from only having the food you stored all winter. By spring, you were starting to suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies so someone discovered you felt better with a spring tonic of castor oil. Obviously, no longer needed.

    When I was young Paregoric was the cure all. With it’s opium content it always knocked us out so our parents could sleep.

    I merely note for the record that not only do I remember what castor oil is, its myriad uses, and its – ahem – flavor, but that doing so makes me feel very old indeed. I don’t mind so much that time marches on, but I do sometimes wish it would stop trampling over me in the process.

    Well Calvin is clearly not on a “See Food” diet. Otherwise he would have eaten what Rosalyn was making.

    I once told my German grandma that what she wanted me to eat didn’t look that good and she told me that I was too “persnickety” .

    In the days of open cockpits and radial engines pilots were bathed in a constant fog of castor oil, more healthful than petroleum oils but a persistant bathroom problem. Those silk scarfs weren’t just for wiping their goggles

    I’m 26 and I had no idea that landlines use to have a “please tell me the time” function. How did that work?
