    Gingerbread man, gingerbread man

    Doing the things a gingerbread can

    What’s he like, it’s not important

    Gingerbread man

    Is he a dot, or is he a speck?

    When he’s underwater, does he get wet

    Or does the water get him instead?

    Nobody knows gingerbread man

    Then he is silent, as he has a Realization: he is One with the Universe.

    He is enlightened. He has become a Bruddah.

    Flesh, clearly.

    Anyone who has made ginger bread men and ginger bread houses from scratch understands this. The dough flesh is the same for both.

    The real conundrum is why they have bread in their names.

    The gingerbread man lives in what he believes to be a gingerbread universe, where all matter is gingerbread.

    I don’t worry that my home and my body are both made of matter. The gingerbread man thinks similarly, but the “matter” to him is what we know to be gingerbread.

    The house is made of inanimate gingerbread, while he’s a gingerbread golem.

      I’m more wondering about the smell. If I entered a house made of human flesh, I’m sure the smell alone would make me gag. But if I smell a gingerbread house, it smells good.

      So if a gingerbread man were inside a gingerbread house, would he gag? Or would it smell just as pleasant to him as it does to us?

      And would smelling another gingerbread man be like smelling foul body odor? Or again, would it smell good?

        Ok but gingerbread is cooked, cooked human flesh smells good ignoring where it came from, from what I hear.

        But that is almost worse if you think about it.
