You can make this even worse by saying:

Corn oil comes from crushing corn and olive oil comes from crushing olives,
so where does baby oil come from?

Yes, this was a typo.  Thanks.

Corn oil comes from corn and olive oil comes from olives, so where
does baby oil come from?

"spend" vs. "spent"

[Adri Verhoef]

I saw the word "spend" being used and wondered why it wasn't being spelled as
"spent".

I decided to grep both words in all '.c' files I could find.  Here is a sample 
of the
result:
$ find|grep \\.c$|xargs grep [^u]spend
./src/eval.c:proftime_T uf_tm_total;/* time spend in function + 
children */
./src/eval.c:proftime_T uf_tm_self; /* time spend in function 
itself */
./src/eval.c:proftime_T *uf_tml_total;  /* time spend in a line + 
children */
./src/eval.c:proftime_T *uf_tml_self;   /* time spend in a line itself 
*/
./src/ex_cmds2.c:proftime_T sn_pr_total;/* time spend in script + 
children */
./src/ex_cmds2.c:proftime_T sn_pr_self; /* time spend in script itself 
*/
./src/ex_cmds2.c:proftime_T sn_prl_total;   /* time spend in a line + 
children */
./src/ex_cmds2.c:proftime_T sn_prl_self;/* time spend in a line itself 
*/
./src/ex_cmds2.c:   /* Grow the array before starting the timer, so that 
the time spend
$ find|grep \\.c$|xargs grep spent
./src/eval.c:proftime_T uf_tm_children; /* time spent in children this 
call */
./src/eval.c:proftime_T uf_tml_children; /* time spent in children for 
this line */
./src/eval.c:proftime_T prof_child; /* time spent in a child */
./src/eval.c: * Take care of time spent in a child.
./src/ex_cmds2.c:proftime_T sn_prl_children; /* time spent in children for 
this line */
./src/ex_cmds2.c: * Count time spent in children after invoking another script 
or function.
./src/syntax.c: * To reduce the time spent in keepend(), remember at which 
level in the state

IMO it is: To spend - spending - spent
It's not in a real bug in the program source, but ...
