Silly Geoff.

Thank you, sir. I do my best. Now, is Upper Crustacea adjacent (just south of) Mastodonia, the land from which Philip of Mastodon brought the large beasts later used by Alexander the Grape? I know it has no relationship whatsoever to Upper Volta, which is a shockingly small country in West Africa.

I am still waiting for Megawati Soekarnoputri (President of Indonesia) to visit Upper Volta.

Where she will, no doubt, be involved in current affairs.

WATT?

Which was the caption on a political cartoon some years ago of what critters in the wild said when told of Nixon's new Secretary of the Interior.

And this reminds me of an old game, one which we should perhaps make into a thread of its own. It is called 9W. Invented, if I recall correctly by Johnnie Carson. In the format of Jeopardy, where someone gives a word and the others respond with questions that the word would be a logical answer for.

9W

Do you spell your name with a V, Herr Vagner?


or

Shogun:

How do you get fast service in a bank?

Upon re-visiting Upper Volta, one might find it re-Volting. And having established the circumference and
formula of its pastry shells, one becomes Pi-Crustean.


And we know that the crust is cooked in an equal sided container, since pie are squared. Now, do the residents of Ms. Megawatti's country wear turbines on their heads? I would presume that being around such magnetic personalities would leave one in a state of constant flux. (Opportunity here for the North Poles and the South Poles to come charging in)

I appear to have led a movement which trashed AphonicRants' perfectly reasonable, sensible and serious inquiry. Bad vicar! Sorry, chum.

Dear Father Steve: we are all so glad to see you posting again, you could not possibly offend. I'm sure AR will agree with me.
