Almost as Fun, but Not Quite
What kind of a world is it that we live in where they glue the bubble wrap to the inside of the parcel? What sick, twisted person sat down one day and said “I’ll take my revenge on the world… and I know exactly how to do it…”
I’m annoyed that I can’t pop the bubbles. I’m more annoyed because now, if I ever want to take my revenge on the world, I’d have to think of something else. Perhaps I could poke holes in the bottom of everybody’s first-coffee-of-the-morning mugs.
Filbert says he’d take all the books in the world, and glue the last two pages together, so no-one would find out what happens. He looks a bit like a frog.
Filbert was in a book once. You probably know it. It was only a minor part, but nonetheless a part. He was distinctly described as “a froglike little man,” thus it couldn’t be anybody else. How many froglike people are there? So he is famous , Filbert is. And nobody is any the wiser, and it’s the perfect crime.
Only, with less crime and less perfect and more nobody caring.
