Tough Questions

I have a few questions about this.

First of all, why are we saving a bag of corks? Do corks have some monetary value that I'm unaware of? Is there some use for these, which my immature and underdeveloped mind simply cannot grasp?

Perhaps more importantly is where did all of these corks come from? Is someone slipping off to hide behind all of the boxes on the porch in order to consume copious amounts of wine? Do we know someone whom we encourage to drink so that we may get their corks? Are we dumpster diving for these corks?

I fear there are no good answers to these questions.
