This thread is the very first thing I thought of when I woke up this
morning.

(BTW the answer to the original question is because Lucky Stiff is a dadaist
genius, and juxtaposing "chunky" with delicious "bacon", that's supposed to
be smoothly cut, is very unsettling...)

Another one for us oldsters.

The Smothers Brothers used to do a bit in which Dick (the more serious
brother) introduced a song they were about to perform as being
poignant.

Tommy then looked puzzled about the word and Dick explained that it
meant "pregnant with feeling."

Tommy then said that the song was about a girl who was "six months poignant."

What I'd like to know is...
