Well, I never heard of four mules to hide. Is this from a song or a poem or something I should have read or heard by now?

4 mules to hide

Is that another pun? Do I still bless my pun-blindness?

If I may, I think the problem here is the set-up, young eta. The story has nothing to do with the punchline. Now, if you'd worked in something about preserving the cookies... (where is TEd when we need him??)
