Ha, ha, I don't have any emoticon to express how much that made me
laugh! You'll just have to imagine it. Once I was just getting to
the bottom of a cup of chocolate and my grandad asked, "Are you
finished yet?" And I thought he said, "Are you frightened yet?"
And I got spooked by my own distorted chocolate-dreg reflection. My
childhood delusions over stuff people say in Star Wars are legendary.

No shame there; they threw off the medieval scribes too.

They can probably put me under house arrest though now, for
Glorification of Dictionary Chewing, or words or unconcious gestures
which could be interpreted as lending intangible support to someone
in this, or any other country (real or fictional), who might have
chewed, or dreamt of chewing, a dictionary, lexicon or other
vocabulary item. I'm more of a book-sniffer myself. But I have to
remember not to when reading Wright's Gothic Grammar, cos I think
the previous owner smoked tobacco.
