    And if you can keep the Santa Clauses airborne until they get out of sight then your wishes will come true as well.

    Come on, we all know the only reason to do that is to be in position to smear it on his chin…at least where I come from…

    When we were urging our congressmen to vote for funding for the NWP, we were told that politicians counted each phone call as 500 people supporting a cause. I guess polls could work the same way.

    Any large yellpw object will reflect light onto a person’s chin. Buttercups, however, are shiny and act like miniature solar reflectors in addition to being yellow.

    We all know the secret of happiness… it is butter.

    It is buttercups. But then again, 98% or polls and statistics are made up, or is it 97%?

    Statistical sampling has to have at least 1200 randomly selected people to be of any value at all. And even that would have at least 4-5% margin of errors……..several thousand would be better, but you are always going to have a margin of error….

    Actually, there are a fair number of us who have dairy allergies, and don’t like butter AT ALL!

    There are cultures where people don’t eat butter – use olive oil or other oils instead. Wonder what they call the flowers we call buttercups.

    Funny, no adults in this one. Usually, they offer some commentary. Nice change of pace.

    Um. Isn’t it BUTTERCUPS that you hold under your chin to do that test?

    There’s GOT to be a “butter makes you racist” pun in here somewhere… now if only this wasn’t written in 2012! :-)

    Not so, I doubt lactose intolerant people are very fond of it.

    The colorist did an excellent job lighting Caulfield’s chin.
