A list of puns related to "King Cole"
"Chestnuts roasting on an open Fourier"
It was Cole's Law.
Let us not forget on this day in 1485 King Cole (of nursery rhyme fame) made a decree about farming. It seems that the peasants had used too much farmland for cabbages and there was not many other vegetables. The farmers soon got in all their cabbage crops, and had a great abundance. They found if they sliced and shredded the cabbage it took up less space to store. This decree is now known as "Coles law".
Every year on Christmas we'll have Nat King Cole playing through the house and eventually "The Christmas Song" comes on. Without fail, Dad belts...
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nosing at your nips."
Every year.
I was driving in the car with my daughter when The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole comes on the radio
"Daddy, how do they roast chestnuts?"
"On an open fire, duh"
Cue eye roll and a 9 year old googling the answer
