Is anyone familiar with this issue who could perhaps step forth and offer clarification?

Clarification will be forthcoming, if you but follow the proper procedure: stand naked in the surf at dusk, whispering the name of the Goddess ecstatically while allowing the waves to lap at your thighs like the tongues of a thousand leopards.

Or at least, that worked for me. YMMV.

That question was posed "years" ago and I, to this very day, deeply regret the reticence that I felt at the time regarding questioning the veracity of that answer. Until now.

This thread raises a swallow of questions:

1. Is it hotter in the city in the summer, or colder in the winter in the country?
2. Is it faster to travel by day, or by train?
3. How-long is a Chinamen.
and finally:
4. What is the difference between a duck?

As we dwell on the finer points of life's great mysteries, one must ask about the sincerity of the fish. In this context, I must raise objection.

Your time or my time?

2. Is it faster to travel by day, or by train?

I don't know (I carry my lunch).

3. How-long is a Chinamen.

And he has a very, very, very fine laundry. With two cats fed with lard.

4. What is the difference between a duck?

Slight. Almost immmmmperceptibly slight.

Your swallow of questions are, indeed, rather hard to swallow (though I don't wish to carp, however fishy your intellectual sincerity strikes me as being).

But the blasphemous unctuosity with which you cast doubt upon the sincerity of ANY of the fishes leads me to conclude that you are anything but an ichthyologist!

And that, my good man, is apalling! My gawd! Have you EVER encountered an insincere fish?

It's like, "I think, therefore I am"...the fish, engineered by nature/God/whatever you want to think, is what it is because of what it is designed to do..

I'm glad my chair has arms, or I seriously would have fallen on the floor laughing! The worst part is not that this thread has made google -- I use google to find PP threads all the time -- but that it's being quoted in that PARF as a cliche. That's just awesome. :)

I believe the why of a fish is to be served raw on a little piece of rice with some wasabei.

Why? It is a fish when it swims.
Because? The higher it flies...not so much. (a fish that is)

That's about as logically and grammatically correct as the rest of this post.

Which is why I have never trusted Chinese folktales.

Or their characters; which I find to be inscrutably multifarious (and nefarious).

And each character corresponds to but one spoken syllable!

How they managed to invent gunpowder, with all their goofy flaming breathed dragons running around, without blowing themselves to dynasty come is totally beyond me.

- It drips a lot of oil, doesn't it?
- All diesels do that.

All diesels do that, honey.

Diesels love oil like a sailor loves rum.

- Yes! Why is that, Captain Ron?
- Nobody knows.

I would avoid #32 if I were you. But if you must, the highlighted desert is a must.

Prawns in L.L. Bean Sauce. I think that was in the buffet we had in Xi'an. Or maybe it wasn't.

Their chef is certainly a stockbroker. he's confused #32 with ßXA2, but, and this is only a guess, if the fish doesn't make it over the clouds, or if the sun is particularly muculent that day.

I've had that dessert. It left me monochromatic; took all week the next day to re-inflate.
