Our Wal Mart doesn't have instant hummus anymore. I noticed this a short time after I heard a story on NPR about how there's some correlation between instant hummus and terrorism. I don't think I heard the whole story and I do remember a thought crossing my mind that was planted there in Biostatistical Analysis. "Correlation does not indicate causation."
I suppose the correlation between that story and the disappearance of instant hummus doesn't indicate that Wal Mart took it off the shelves to prevent terrorism. That would be silly, right?
Oh, I know it isn't that hard to make your own hummus but it's a lot harder than adding water and a little lemon juice. I want my hummus back and I don't want to have to boil chick peas and make a mess out of my blender to get it. I may even have to get off my rear and call a manager. If I actually told them I miss it maybe they'd bring it back.
I wonder if they carry headscarves.

I love your sense of humor Marilyn. Have a great day. :)
So Freaking Happy I found this blog. Can't wait to read more.
Sandee: Thanks
Girl: Do I detect sarcasm? :)
That is a very funny correlation (but it wouldn't surprise me AT ALL!!!)
LOL.
What would be fun is to make up some statistics of our own, like "taking naps helps fight terrorism 89% of the time", or "eating brussels sprouts has been linked to a dangerous increase in terrorism", or "every time you fart, a terrorist drops dead".
Then you could just act in accordance with your own statistics and tell everyone you're doing your part for national security.
Now, if you need me, I'll be over here farting, taking a nap, and conscientiously avoiding brussels sprouts.
BTW, Morgen can attest to the fact that some of my farts ARE bad enough to knock over a terrorist.
Yes, unfortunately, I can attest to the aforementioned Jannafact.
I've not had hummus.
Just doing my part.
