Random Silly Grins

I had matzos in my youth with Imperial margarine. A tasty combination as I recall.

Wow. Now I want some.

First read-through of that, I saw “Imperial migraine”, and that really did not seem like a great combination.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had another episode of Creative Stupidity. For some arcane reasons, I decided to use my headphones rather than earbuds with my iPhone. But I had trouble connecting the two-- the headphone plug is a 1/4" plug that unscrews, giving a 2.5 mm plug. But for some reason the plug wouldn’t go far enough into the iPhone’s lightning connector:

I figured there was something weird about a headphone’s 1/4" – 2.5 mm combination plug.
I hunted around and found a connector that did seem to fit:

Over the next several weeks, though, I noticed a few songs just didn’t sound right. I looked online for troubleshooting the iPhone’s music player, the equalizer settings, even the amplifier, but nothing seemed to help. Finally I tried just plugging and unplugging all the connectors to make sure they were tight.

That’s when I noticed:

The middle connector that fit better was a stereo-to-mono converter. And all I needed to do was push the original plug and socket together hard enough.

I’m rather fond of “son of a sea cook” from Arsenic and Old Lace. My grandfather actually was a cook in the Navy during WWII… (I’m not sure if that makes it more or less complimentary, but it’s fun to say. :rofl: )

Do we need a surreal-things thread? Because this would certainly qualify, riffing and all:
