My friend's name

... good one John.   The word "her"  was tripping me up.  This is typical of so many clever riddles, the answers are quite simple, until YOU start to over-think them!   🙄 😮 😬

Oh man - GREAT! I spent a ton on popcorn! 

Congratulations Tony!!  Fortunately your prize is a package of Duracell Copper Top AA batteries; you can insert them just under the tail of your popcorn eating giraffe/gazelle/??  as it seems to be running down.

@chris Thanks for the explanation Chris.....it's all so much clearer now..........

LoL!    Right, like I disclosed some well-guarded, earth-shattering secret.   Half-wits say stuff like that when they can't figure something out.  🙄 🙄 😀 😀

@chris I feel I do comprehend the half-wit mentalityness; although in spite of my education the term "overthinking" remains a bit of a head scratcher.
