Sunday lunch

As is often common here in the South, my friends and I go out to lunch after church. We don't go so much for the camaraderie as to sit down and answer the hard questions in life. For example, today the discussion was what do fireflies eat? These my friends, are the tough questions we are willing to face for the betterment of people everywhere. Apparently, no one at our table of scholars knew the answer to what fireflies eat. Every child who has ever caught a lightning bug (firefly) in a mason or mayonnaise jar, knows that you must insert into said jar the mandatory stick and grass. It's in the child bug catching manual somewhere. Must have stick and grass in jar. But I can verify this; lightning bugs do not eat either stick or grass. So what does it eat? Well, I will tell you. They eat pollen, insects and other fireflies. Yes folks, those sweet little glowing creatures are cannibals. I guess adding pollen to their diets gives them the fiber they need. All adults must consider fiber after all. Apparently fireflies can not live solely off flesh like the rugby team in the Andes mountains did. So there you have it. One less hard question in life that you will have to ponder. And should you ever be watching Jeopardy and this comes up, then you will be able to confidently say... "What is Pollen, Insects and other fireflies Alex?"
