On a marginally related note: Is analogy the study of assholes?
Come to think of it, since I deal with assholes every day, am I an analogist? :confused:

Next time my wife responds to one of my pathetic attempts at humor (humour for you brits and Canucks) with "Don't quit your day job", I'll reply: "In your face; I f@rt in your general direction".Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

Then you probably should avoid traveling to Latin America.

Probably too late but, in THE TOMB, where Nellie and Gia are at the U.N. reception and Vicky tiptoes down stairs to see the chocolates, it's mentioned that Jack once showed her (vicks) how to pierce the bottom of the candy to see what kind of filling it has. If Vicky is allergic to chocolate, why would Jack teach her that?

That one I caught. Simply deleted the thumb-poking reference.

Yep. That one was easy. No re-write, just delete.

Hasn't this commantary gone on long enough? And, parenthetically, I have to dash off anyway.
So, tilde meet again,
