Old Fanner’s Riddle: Why is a pack of cards like a garden
shed? (Answer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: I have
always taken it for granted
that the authorized Ameri
can spread eagle could be
used facing either to the
right or left. Recently I
have heard this is not so
that eagles always face left.
Is this right? J.F., Atlanta.
Our understanding is that
the eagle always faces to
ward the olive branch on
the Great Seal of the United
States which is the mili
tary right.
