Me, I'm still working on the whole nine inches! Cannot tell whether I'm coming or going here. Is there some mystical meaning for nine? I mean, we got the cat o'nine tails... Why nine, I ask you? And how 'bout the Beatles and "Number nine, number nine, number nine"! What was that all about?
And then, since I'm on the subject of how weird numbers are, why do people say, "I'm all sixes and sevens here"?
I don't get it.
Don't even know who I bloody am anymore,
OrB~ (I think...I think I got it right this time!)
And, come to think of it, bloody Clementine's shoes--those herring boxes--were number nine! What's this with nine anyway????
