MAY I ASK A QUESTION? Some of us at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired have fantasies of publicly embarrassing Prof. Pompous Fatuous Failem, chairman of the Tautology Dept. down at Bedspring Tech, in Los Bebedors, Texas. At one of his news conferences, I want to say, “May I ask two questions?” After Prof. Failem says yes, I’ll reply, “Thank you. And my second question is, how can you defend a redundancy like prerequisites?” His reaction might be fun to watch.
