I like that jar! Are we allowed to haggle? I'll offer 6i dollars for it.

They're imaginary dollars, but how real are Metaphysical Abdul's goods?

In Abdul's own inimitable phraseology, 'Our price's are unreal, but then, so are our product's!'

Tim what's happened to you? Please remove those apostrophes from price's and product's. And it's integration not 'intergration'.

TimT said...

Oh, all right. I was going to let it stand as an example of one of Abdul's little eccentricities, but it is rather grotesque. I have exercised my editorial and writing privileges and removed the aberrant apostrophes.

Gosh, Tim, if you don't update soon I'll start to think you have an actual life - what confusion in the universe such a thing would cause!

Does the ladder only condescend whilst one ascends?

TimT said...

I think the aim is to belittle you to a point that, by the time you reach the top you feel so low that you don't need to descend.

If you actually start to descend, it begs you to change your mind and go back up again. By the end, it is so anxious and depressed that it threatens to climb up itself and jump off its top rung if you don't ascend it.

I don't know what would happen if you turn the ladder upside down.

Any further questions?

Jo said...

Yes.
What happens if you turn the ladder upside-down?

TimT said...

It condescends upside down?
