Pandora's Disaster Management Kit: Just when you thought nothing could get much worse, somebody decides to . . .
What is “Marginal Thinking”, you may ask.
"And well you may.
“I AM asking!”
“And WELL you may . . .”
”Whether you are going to get any sort of response that amounts to a rational
explanation is a
horse of a different color.
Or, half of one and six dozen of the other.
Or, compounding an argument with the phrase “literally figurative” added
into the sentence. .
Marginal Thinking is a ‘visual pun’ or, a visualization of a literal pun
or - a visual interpretation of transposed terms, words or letters.
‘Last of the Mohicans’ becomes The Last of The Mohair Coons.
‘Butter up The Boss’ becomes Butt Hair up The Boss.
And the ’Lesser of Two Evils’ becomes the Lessor of Two Evils.
The Trick is in How You Twist an Explanation
It is easy to accept the concept of a
‘Department of Theoretical Physics’.
But the idea of a ‘
Theoretical Department of Physics???’ opens up a whole new vista
of possibilities and ideas.
To Wit: No one has ever SEEN the Department on the University
campus.
Nor knows personally, anyone who attends lectures there.
And, while there are countless papers and journals written by the various
lecturing Professors - no one has ACTUALLY SEEN, much less met one of them.
The Departments' existence can be ‘INFERRED’ from the Pay-Roll data that
shows that staff receive salaries, and the security access records show
that the Professors log in and out of the Campus.
Further evidence is SUGGESTED by the student registration data that shows
that students ARE ON the campus attending lectures at the Department.
I will leave the rest to you to build upon.
Useless Information that May Come in Handy at a Party:
"Etaoin Shrdlu" is the approximate order of frequency of the 12 most commonly
used letters in the English language.
A combination of letters set by running a finger down the first, and then
the second left-hand vertical banks of six keys of a Linotype machine,
to produce a temporary marking slug, not intended to appear in the final
printing.
BUT DID - OFTEN ENOUGH - TO ENTER THE MAIN-STREAM CONCIOUSNESS
when there were type-setting machines.
Nowadays we just have billions of bozo's who cannot spell or form a proper
grammatical sentence of typed characters. . .
Evn tho there fones have spel chequers and a build in dick shinnery. Witch
