Tnx. I didn't know trains could read. 


Thank you! Train(s) has to do with teaching.


Of course I sort of figured that out, but it doesn't make that much
sense that way, either.
  Where puns are accidental, they diverge from, rather than converge
on, your intended meaning.
  The idea is sound, and worth some r&d.



You're right, but I'm afraid I'm maxed. No credits.
We can hope only someone smarter and fairer to pick up the baton,
but can we make it? and what exactly is the destination?

How about /the trip/?
You start thinking "destination," you're /always/ gonna hate where you're /at/.
The condition is so savage it's even managed to obliterate Gen.1:6-8 in every "christian" religion we've got. And that's not even ten verses into the first page of the Book.

In poultry, it causes you to leave out the stuff that nudged the pome into being in the first place; you try to go directly to St. Charles' Place without the dam' card.
/Savor/ the stuff that caused you to have the pome in the first place, and it'll settle in to fitting the rest of itself -- and the meal -- like a good soup.
I.e., screw where /you/ want it to go; that /always/ burns the cookies. Find out where /it/ wants to go. You get new recipes that way.

You're one smart dude, there, Hammes. Is it really you?


No, I'm Dopey.
