Do youy notice anything in particular about this passage?

[styley]

Up to about its primary school days a child thinks, naturally, only of play. But many a form of play contains disciplinary factors. "You can't do this," or "that puts you out," shows a child that it must think, practically or fail. Now, if, throughout childhood, a brain has no opposition, it is plain that it will attain a position of "status quo," as with our ordinary animals. Man knows not why a cow, dog or lion was not born with a brain on a par with ours; why such animals cannot add, subtract, or obtain from books and schooling, that paramount position which Man holds today.

[B00]

think i know too- but again, i won't spoil it, but i'm guessing it's got something to do with a previous question you've asked???

[Shadow Man]

It is a shame that when the kids grow up all they want to do is take drugs in nightclubs like speed and others eh?

[wizard69]

I'm stumped.
Go on, spill the beans...

[Shadow Man]

wizard, I gave a clue, it was not some rant about drugs.

Here's another.

At a wedding, did you hear about the man who forgot to say "I do" and "with this ring"????

[styley]

Well wizard I'll give you a clue. There's a difference between the passage and every answer so far, including your own.

[styley]

It's from a work called Gadsby. An entire book written eithout using the letter E. Mental, huh?

[styley]

Fun while it lasted. Next.

[jno]

if you don't want an answer, post on NoAnswerBank

[B00]

well not saying i didn't want the answer, i just wanted to see/hear wizard tying himself up in knots trying to figure it out. Not much to ask for is it? A bit of sadistic pleasure at someone else's expense?


sorry wizard, lol.

In episode 1F16 of the Simpsons, "Burns' Heir", Montgomery Burns makes Lenny Leonard explain without using the letter 'E' why he shouldn't be fired. When Lenny says, "Um, I'm a good... work... guy," Burns fires him anyway, by pressing a button that opens a trap door under Lenny's feet. As he falls, he blurts out, "but I didn't say ... eeeeee!"
