Summary

This quote is a humorous take on the origin of virgin wool. It suggests that virgin wool comes from the sheep that runs the fastest, implying that the act of running fast somehow produces this specific type of wool. In reality, the term "virgin wool" refers to wool that has never been used or woven before, rather than being related to the speed of the sheep. The quote serves to entertain and provoke a light-hearted perspective on an otherwise mundane topic.

Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don't do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering.
