Guns and Vinegar


I have a student that worked as a guide in hunting trips for bears.

Student:   “So, Sister Smith is there an all-purpose vinegar that you can use in the kitchen?”

Me:  “Well, white vinegar seems to have the least flavor, but recipes that use specific vinegar usually need that flavor.  For example, rice vinegar is needed to give the right flavor to an Asian salad.”

Student:  “That explains all the vinegars that my mom has.  She’s got a whole shelf of ‘em.  I asked her why she had so many blasted vinegars.  She said, ‘Same reason you have so many guns.’”
