No, no, no.

It is very simple, really.

You've heard of buffalo chips? Or cow chips? Well these pork chips  
are similar but come from porks rather than buffalos or cows.

Now, why they would be flying around the kitchen is the bigger  
question. You might ask why someone would be cooking pork chips in a  
skillet, but, well, people cook a lot of strange items, like  
asparagus and broccoli and eggs with unhatched chickens in them as  
well. No, the real question is why these pork chips would be flying  
around the kitchen.

Well, the answer is elves. Yes, elves. Elves can be mischievous,  
hiding kitchen utensils when they know that someone will need them,  
emptying packages so that only a quarter cup is left when you were  
*sure* you had a half cup or more, putting in oriental spiced flour  
in that package you thought was plain, ordinary flour etc. Now  
whether these were Keebler elves or ordinary, regular, green kitchen  
elves is another question. Probably the latter as Keebler elves show  
a preference for chocolate chips, rather than pork chips. The real  
question is why a chip hit the refrigerator. I think that is either  
one or more of the elves had rather poor eyesight or perhaps one or  
more of them were really drunk. Usually elves are better shots than  
this and normally elves don't make that big of a mess.

I mean, how many times have you walked into the kitchen and found  
food in the middle of the floor? Well unless you have dogs, cats or  
children, probably not many times. Of course in the case of having  
cats, dogs or children, when you ask them about how the food got on  
the floor or the cookies disappeared from the cookie jar, they will  
as likely as not, tell you the elves or aliens did it.

So, see the answer is simple.
