Smart TalkSMART TALK by Dr. Verbos Metikulos
COMPONENT PARTS: Down the road in Los Libidos, Texas, Dr. Lawrence Blithermore at Bedspring Tech likes to analyze a process by breaking it down to it component parts.
This is typical of the good doctor. He keeps having major breakthroughs, too.
We at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired have been trying to tell him that components are parts, and that breaking it down is already sufficient. We know we're wasting our time, but we can't let our silence make him think his language is just fine, can we.
Dr. Blithermore should be a patient in our William Safire Center.
