And excellent, Herr Kingsley. You are as sagacious as you are literate. I shall probably never get so far into Finnegan's Wake to find that reference, but I'm told it is in there...
Out of the 19 million who read Tim's blog: all of those who went at least as far as 5th grade primary school, would be my guess.
19 million?
Where did the other two million go?
Why haven't I read about it in the papers?
Why isn't there a little alert at the end of "Without a Trace", with a picture of the two million missing Australian's that we should be looking out for, and notifying the authorities if we find them?
Was it the Rudd Rapture? Yet, that would make no sense: far too many "left behind".
If it's only the people who comment who get the joke here, then I notice that the number is growing every day. Now all we need as confirmation is another 19 million or so comments...

ReplyDeleteI'm tipping just the people who've commented.
Don't include me in that count - I often say what I mean, but I don't ever claim to know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteHow would have understood?

Caz, I ate them for being pedantic.
