Have you ever tried Smucker's Goober Grape? My grandparents always had a stock of the stuff when I was little, and I often requested a Goober Grape sandwich. Peanut butter and jelly out of the same jar? It blew my mind. I still think it must take a little bit of magic to get that peanut butter and jelly swirled into the jar so beautifully. But I tried a bite of the stuff today and was quickly reminded that going to the trouble of opening two separate jars is a better option. There's something not quite right about that peanut butter. I assume it takes some crazy additives to keep the peanut butter from mixing with the jelly in the jar.Speaking of goobers, here are some more highlights from the recent editions of the BYU police beat. One of these made me laugh until I cried, but then, I'm easily amused.

I wonder what the officer said to the owl.

I've found that whereas pigeons are stubborn to the point that pellet guns are required to get them to leave, owls can be persuaded with some cold hard rational and logical reasoning, at which point, the owl will concede the validity of your argument and politely depart.
However, I'm afraid I have no advice for dealing with a disgruntled deodorant purchaser.
Hoo hoo. Shoo shoo.
Boo.
It took SOME NERVE to goose a motorscooter around a duck.
We bought a jar of that stuff for camp-out sandwiches. You know it made an "impression" because my four year old reminds me daily that he wants his pbj sandwiches "without peanut butter and jelly stuck together." It has been 3 months since the Goober sandwich. Think the requests will end soon?
