by Dr. Weiss N. Heimer  


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 Libidos, 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 confused reaction might be fun to watch.

I just love it when a new patient here at the institute raises a hand and oh-so-earnestly says, "May I ask a question?"

With a warm smile, I reply, "You just did.  Welcome to the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired."
