Basically, the jar neck is wide enough to allow your hand into it, but if you try to pull out a huge handful of peanuts, the size of your fist is now too big to come out of the jar.
Desist oh greedy one, and try a smaller handful....-- energy guy, Dec 25 2004 softee, softee, catchee monkey http://www.inspirat...ries.com/2/233.html [po, Dec 25 2004] satay http://chilemasters...tay-thailand-1.html [skinflaps, Dec 26 2004] Reference to boney-bun http://www.halfbakery.com/user/lueckeLuecke's idea - see second paragraph [energy guy, Dec 28 2004] i can see my dad with this now, walking around the house with his hand stuck in the jar, whimpering quietly. do i sense a homer simpsonism here somewhere?-- benfrost, Dec 25 2004 Can you have a fatal overdose of peanuts? [sigh] Another thing to worry about.-- hazel, Dec 25 2004 Fill the jar with satay?-- skinflaps, Dec 25 2004 whats satay?-- energy guy, Dec 26 2004 Has someone been coon hunting? I think someone has.-- photojunkie, Dec 26 2004 A filbert limiter, surely.-- Shz, Dec 28 2004 Oh dear. The sad fact is that I can't decide whether to bun this as I know I need one, or to bone it as it would restrict my peanut intake. Doubtless my friends and family will organise an 'intervention' soon.-- wagster, Dec 28 2004 Peanuts are good.-- DesertFox, Dec 28 2004 [DF] - in small doses - yes.
[wagster] - how about a boney-bun? (see link)-- energy guy, Dec 28 2004 Boney-bun it is! I am far from neutral on this idea, I both love it and am horrified by the implications.-- wagster, Dec 28 2004 random, halfbakery
