A magazine article which describes the New Horizons spacecraft as being 'piano-sized' - what kind of piano ? There's a big difference between a small electric piano, and upright, or a concert grand ! Why don't they just give its size in metres or feet ?
And is it an African or European piano?
What a Swift retort!

Either way, they're too big to Swallow!

A company I used to work for used to rotate US staff through the UK offices - which meant that every year we had to explain to a fresh set of them why we didn't celebrate Independence day in the UK :/
I was very confused in July 2012 that almost half of a group of 30 or so Americans who were present were very confused as to why the British group (we were all in Russia) were not celebrating the 4th of July.

I hate spicy food, all my life it has made me cough and heave. I could no more eat an Indian meal than I could flap my arms and fly over to the local Chinese restaurant.

Should I force myself to eat it so you won't be offended?
I wouldn't dispute that it's very unpleasant for you, but I think that the post referred to the type of people who just say something like,
"Oh no, I wouldn't like that."
"Have you ever tried it?"
"No."

The type of people who don't really like anything other than hamburgers and crisps.

Cutlery with excessive weight in their handles - so much so that it falls off the plate with even the slightest touch.

People who like garlic, become addicted and need more and more to get the same effect to the point that they are, unbeknownst to themselves, walking around in a cloud of smelly garlic fumes.

And to think that something like that used to be "the size of Wales".

The stupid bint of a young mother who wheeled a pushchair, with sprog secured therein right out in front of me on a pelican crossing when the lights were green. She was accompanied by an accomplice stupid bint who stood in the middle of the crossing and waved at drivers to stop.

This act of stupidity forced me to brake sharply. Do I risk knocking down a child with two stupid women or getting whiplash from a tail-end shunt?

NEXT TIME, PRESS THE BUTTON AT THE CROSSING AND WAIT FOR THE SIGNAL TO CROSS THE ROAD. YOU SILLY MARES!
