Or something. AUW: Thank you. I am still waiting for my gratuitous pun, if you please. Drodbar: Thanks to you, Neil. This was definitely a short story of sorts (broken up for easy blog consumption), however, I am never sure what length anything should be.

He really is a master, isn't he? [And so is Ionesco.]) This has been an imaginative, entertaining series. I think you would be a good writer of short stories (i.e. longer than just blog-post length).

[And yes, I'll come back later and add a gratuitous mouth-related pun to lower the tone, don't worry about that] As I said somewhere else - but probably shouldn’t have done - the thing about this six-part post is how inventive and original it is.
