Igor was a man bemused. The weighty "1,001 DIY hints and tips" which had arrived this morning was not the exciting tome he had fondly imagined when he entered his credit card details online. Instead of tutoring him in the way he had hoped, the book told
him to saw his left arm off to the shoulder. I sounded excruciating, not to mention messy, but who argues with a book? Especially such a
tome, more suited for holding a door shut against a hurricane than for being read. A huge yawn in prose,
a brief snicker in poetic
confectionary naming. "Marathon" , I decided, was a much better name for a chocolate bar whereas "Snickers" just sounded like a rude joke. What were they thinking?
We probably don't want to ponder too much, as it might detract from the natural high of the punchline.
