Chapter 11 - Nonsense and Bananas

When two cars enter an intersection there is a certain amount of tension that seems to fill the air between them. The amount of tension each driver feels is directly related to the number of collisions he or she has been involved in. For example, a camel walking at 8 mph cannot be expected to change course very quickly. But if that camel were headed toward a field of fully matured corn, you might think that a left turn were in order. This naturally is not the case when the corn has been sitting there for weeks because somebody forgot to pay the oxygen bill and all the snow melted on top of Mount Kilimanjaro. However, the division of resources can make the job of convincing the camel to change direction seem less complex. This solution can be repeated with many results none of which are exactly identical. One word of caution, an experiment such as this must not be repeated in one’s back yard as the evidence from Mr. Worse has shown. Many words do not make a book just as many books do not make a dictionary.
