Seeing the word #trump on the youtube page of one of my favorite songs ever ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW3tBxGyqqo ) sure wasn't on my bingo card.
#TIL the sordid details:

Keith Richards wrote 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' in his sleep
>He recorded a rough version of the riff on a cassette player. He had no idea he had written it. > >When he listened to the recording in the morning, there were about two minutes of acoustic guitar before you could hear him drop the pick and “then me snoring for the next forty minutes”.
The hubster is teleworking today and we're making coffee and chatting and he picks up a mug that he's had for a while and forgotten about. It reads “A boss like you is as scarce as toilet paper in a pandemic” and we were like “... why toilet paper, tho?” and he said “well... bread and toilet paper" and i was like, “bread, i get”
back home, hurricane watches meant a run on supermarket shelves ... but not for toilet paper, for “bully beef" and bread.
hubster didn't know what i meant by "bully beef”, so i looked it up cos i didn't trust myself to explain it properly... and he was like “oh. spam." and i … 
so i had to read for myself... the wikipedia page doesn't say it's the same thing (as far as i read) but it does link to it in the “See also" section. and here i always thought that spam was nasty. 
(side note: i don't think it's the same thing, but i have never -and will never- taste spam so 🤷🏾)
anyway ... all that to say #TIL that "bully beef and crackers" (or biscuits as the Brits call 'em), is a really old British staple for soldiers in the field; as in from the ‘Boer War’ -which i have never even heard of. i mean, mom and dad used to say it was a world war 2 thing they learned (cos they both were kids during the 2nd world war) ... but it never once occurred to me that it was anything other than a very jamaican custom.
