Hi listmates,
Dan Augustine once again exhibits his mastery of the vernacular:
> For instance, take my tuba ("Please!") . . . Perhaps it could better
>be turned into some other more functional design, such as a city
>sewer-system . . . Unused bagpipes could be fashioned into fake
>love-objects for the confused octopus . . .
Wait a minute . . . I just had a brainstorm. What if I turned my washboard
into a device for cleaning clothing! What a novel idea!
>Quite a nice column or two might be wrestled out of these conceits.
Nice to see the word "conceits" used in its literary context.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill "Thimbles" Gunter
