showing question #108

question from Khelmut Vasserry

Driving through my quarry yesterday, I was recognized by a workman who sidled up to me and cried “thistle” I was about to return the greeting as small blue man (a sprite perhaps?)poked his head from the traders mouthpiece and
claimed “If you put a severed face in a piano the devil will iron your grandmother”
Is this correct, or was the little urchin fibbing me blind? Also can you recommend a good place I could get a ships engine? I’d like to know, I’ve been thinking about getting one for my attic for some time now and you know how difficult they are to make!

All blue men lie, this is a fact no matter of their size. Those Intel adverts? Lies. You don’t need a Pentium 4 to get decent net access. Everyone knows you need a 68040.

And the devil will not iron your grandmother, she is safe. The devil, in that situation alone, will repaint your woodwork an unpleasant shade of mauve.

You have been warned.

Regarding the ship’s engine - I’d recommend Ipswich. There’s more botanical gardens there than golf sales.
