So answer me this...

The other night I was watching Jack the Giant Slayer. Yeah a spine on Jack and the Bean Stalk... so the bean grew into a bean stalk. But there were no beans.

That`s when I got to thinking, I`ve not seen bean in any of them. 🤔 There have been countless variations on it and not one goddamn bean. What kind of farming is that?

So what I`m getting at is, it isn`t a beanstalk, it`s a fucking vine! 😡

These are the things that go through my head late at night. 🙄

Me: Go have a nap old man.

When I come up with things like that when watching a movie or TV show, my wife throws me out of the room. I get a lot of alone time.

@swirlie While the nursery rhyme doesn’t explicitly call Humpty Dumpty an egg, the imagery strongly suggests it. The rhyme describes a character who falls and can't be put back together, which fits with the fragility of an egg, not a cannon. Though the theory about a Civil War cannon is interesting, the rhyme was published long after the war, almost 100 years. and early illustrations depict Humpty as an egg. The egg interpretation is supported by the rhyme's focus on fragility, making it a more likely explanation than the cannon theory.

That is correct, the cannon couldn't be put back together either. It's not a theory about a Civil War cannon, it is an actual event. The cannon's shape was made mortal into a living form sitting on a wall and falling off the wall was the illustration of 'the fall of Humpty Dumpty' the cannon.
