   Some of us wanted to be raised in a barn, so our phrase was “don’t eat like a savage”. Then I read Tarzan, and savage sounded good. I think my mom kind of gave up then

   I know they say at the small crafts airport ‘you can make the barn door fly if you put enough horsepower on it’ or in this case maybe just a propellor.

   And yet Christ was born in a stable, ie a barn. Funny that, you’d think all religious women about to give birth would in honour go to a barn to give birth. (Of course, that would be dreadful, but face it, that wouldn’t even be in the top 100 worst actions done out of religious belief! Also, I want to start a trend . . .)

   I would sure like to get a tiny little peek at this ‘Magic Golden Barn’ – with its bumper crop of adorable baby unicorns…

   Well at least unicorns don’t have issues with elbows on the table.

   Well yes, but on the other hand (hoof?), isn’t it also considered impolite to point?

   Perhaps Phoebe can do a sleep-over at the MAGIC GOLDEN BARN.

    My husband’s standard answer when his mom asked, “Were you born in a barn?” was “No, Ma, a stable.”

    “Don’t leave that door open! Were you born in a barn?”
    “No, Ma, I was born in a hospital — with automatic doors!”

    I actually saw an R/C aircraft design that proved it — it was nothing but a flat sheet of balsa with an engine, landing gear, and some control surfaces.
