The Question of the Hour

[goldentone]

I call for the collective wisdom of the forum to answer
our most pressing questions of life, serious and not-so-serious.

Such as this:

Why do bagels petrify so quickly?

[Bob]

Do we only have an hour in which to answer?

Get really chewy bagels.  They don't dry up.  Don't get the cheap ones.

[goldentone]

Well, I buy Lenders, and if I leave the bagel out for too long
it gets hard.    I am thinking they all do this.

Maybe I should try gourmet. 

[goldentone]

Do we only have an hour in which to answer?

Yes, we have more than an hour. 

[Bob]

Ok.

Those Lenders one are already kind of dried out when they get frozen.  Just keep them frozen or in the fridge and then toast them. 

Or buy the fresh ones.

In our credit-crunchful times, that's probably just about the most appealing remark about a lender that I've heard in ages...

Where is the minute hand? 

... What about using Mandrakes to cure petrified bagels?

What is a Bagel? 

[Bob]

It's a type of composition.  Beethoven wrote some smaller ones and called them bagelletes. 

You can put cream cheese on them and eat them.

(Bob is making quantum hungry)

Can I have a fugue now?

[Bob]

A fugue newton?

[slobone]

Lender's, you call that a bagel? Feh. Bagels should only be bought fresh and consumed immediately. If you have to reheat them, you're already doing something wrong.
