I’m tellin’ ya, is there any better judge of common knowledge than The A-Team? Hell, I bet lots of people think that you can get shot in the leg by a .50 cal rifle, go to a rural doctor with no surgical facilities, and keep your leg as easy as 1-2-3. Why? 'Cause B.A. did it!
If it makes you feel any better, adam yax, I didn’t get it because I assumed the book must be historical fiction about Hannibal.
Huh? Attila the Hun and fiscal acumen aren’t the two matchs I would have made.
Oh I got that Hannibal was the icky guy from Silence of the Lambs, but he’d not have come to my mind first at all. So there I’d be, bemoaning the declining state of today’s publishing world. Why, when I was a kid, publishers accepted only the best writing and the binding of the books didn’t fall apart on the second reading…
So any whooshing would be mine, on me.
js_africanus, the crafty devils just use their trunks to remove the corks! Sure, trunk muzzles prevent that, but the cost is prohibitive. The Tusk Freedom groups say super glue on the corks is inhumane, but I say it’s the only feasible solution.
You have to admit, by the time he was done, Attila was a lot richer than when he started.
I did nothing of the goddamn sort. Keep your insinuations to yourself, you dirty amphibian!
If he was really fiscally acute, he wouldn’t have pillaged Europe, he would have taxed it.
