I went to the pet shop and asked for 12 bees.
The clerk counted out 13 bees and handed them over.
“You’ve given me one too many” I said.
“That one is a freebie”
John Harvey KelloggDied 14 Dec 1943 at age 91 (born 26 Feb 1852). American physician and health-food pioneer whose development of dry breakfast cereals was largely responsible for the creation of the flaked-cereal industry. In 1876, at age 24, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg became the staff physician at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a position he would hold for 62 years. His surgical skill was admired by the Doctors Mayo. A vegetarian, he advocated low calorie diets and developed peanut butter, granola, and toasted flakes. He warned that smoking caused lung cancer decades before this link was studied. Kellogg was an early advocate of exercise. It was his brother, William K. Kelloggwho sweetened the flakes with malt, and began commercial production as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company (1906). |
