It was kind like this. I wonder if he saw the movie and thought I can write a book like this.

I will call it THE NIGHT BOAT.

If you Yanks would just adopt the metric system, we could dispense with all these animal-based measurements. 😡

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

Never!

These are English words but they make no sense when you put them together like this.

I will freely admit that I had never thought of using "baby elephants per corgi" as an expression of density.

 

I see an exam question forthcoming....

[Cancer]

Corgis to me are either the late Queen's dogs, or the cast metal toy cars.

[Duke Bushido]

Never having any experience with either of these, I would have preferred pounds or tons.

 

The fact that the author did not use pounds or tons and instead used something that I am reasonably certain _most_ of his readers have on intimate familiarity suggests the xhoice was intentional (and likely playing into gag).

 

 

Taken as a group, these thoughts suggest quite strongly that even if we adopted the metric system a century ago, this still would have been measured in elephant babies  per corgi.

I worked for a deep discount bookstore back in the nineties, and my store manager had a story about a former employee and "yellow book people".

 

Customer: "I'm looking for a book. I don't know the title or the author, but the cover is yellow."

Employee: "Let me take you to our yellow books section."

Customer: "You have a yellow books section?"

Employee: "No, not really."

 

 

 

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

If I'm honest... They asked for a red book. (Not blue.)

It's the ..for Dummies section

[Bazza]

 

it has a sequel too. One of my favs is still CS Lewis’ ‘Lionel Richie & the wardrobe’. Although pop-up books on sex ed; and an inquiry about Anne Frank’s sequel…because she is such a good writer…are as Neil says, “so funny. So sad”.

Those books were too popular for an outlet mall bookstore in the mid-nineties. Much of what we sold were remainder books. Paperback books were sold 3 for $5, and most hardcovers were $4 to $7.

In the early 2000s, I worked at a bookstore. A woman asked me for the Idiot by Homer Simpson. While this sounds like a humorous book that the creators of the Simpsons might have produced, no such thing exists, or existed at the time. The customer refused to believe us, going so fat as to show her the inventory system. After a bit of de-escalation, we pivoted and asked why she wanted this book so badly. They needed it for their child, who had to read it for English Lit class. At that point, the manager asked, do you mean the Iliad by Homer?

 

That was the book. 

 

End.
