baby, what's in that satchel?

mitch hedberg is funny. in one of his shows he asks where sesame seeds come from. you get some stuck to big macs, they get turned into oil, invoking the great name of sesame opens stuff, and it's also a street. but what is a sesame ?! i posed the question to the dinner table last night and nobody knew.

aged auntie: it grows on a tree. a sesame tree.
no it doesn't =_=

ordery: it's like a fruit. and you crack it open and all the seeds spill out. like .. a seed fruit. thing.
lies.

so anyway, once again wikipedia saves the day, and all's right with the world.
