text: if peter piper pecked a peck of pickled peppers, where exactly are said peppers ? were they stolen ?   actually, peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. my question is what the hell are pickled peppers doing growing in some field? i thought they came in jars and were put on my natchos and hot dogs at a ball game.   and frankly, he picked those things a lonnnnng time ago. i'm sure they are landfill, fertilizer, or fossils by now. we just may never know.
