My Family Talks Like This, Too

[gnomi]

Scene: gnomi is talking to lcmlc and Abba about lcmlc's current issues with Thoracic Outlet Compression.

lcmlc: Abba says it shouldn't be "thoracic," but "jurassic"*

Abba: Jurassic Outlet -- the place to get your low-priced dinosaurs!


*There's a tradition of this in Jewish biblical exegesis. There are passages in the Talmud and other rabbinic writings where they say, to bring a lesson (in that they don't actually believe we're misreading the text, but that a small change in the text allows them to bring another lesson. The Hebrew that introduces these are "Al tikra _____ ella ______."

Oh, and Omer, day 12.

no jurrasic outlets are those that don't support the grounded three prong plugs. Which would be most of mine. And which the cost to modernize those results in a bill...as large as a dinosaur.
