“Wire you looking so mystified?” my friend asked me.
“I can’t think of a word.”
“Well, don’t you have the Reference desk on speed dial?”
“Yeah, but they can’t help me with this one.”

on dieu, you’re pigheaded! If you dig a little deeper, you’d know that, statistically speaking, the things most often know as

I don’t think the emminent behaviorist B. F. Skiffle would have played a kazoo. Unless, of course, he could have thought outside the box.
