This post is for Andy Rooney, who just passed away. I so enjoyed listening to this cantankerous man. He was famous for speaking the truth, as he saw it anyway. So...."Did you ever wonder" why there are warts on gourds? As there is a purpose for everything in nature, the purpose of warts on gourds must be so that....animals don't chew on them?....frogs don't jump on them?...princes stay away from them?....any thoughts? Did the makers of Compound W ever really look at gourds? Why do you think that there are warts on gourds? Thank you Andy for all of your humorous thoughts and words.
