      Bye, All!              Reading "Good Omens" by Terry Prattchett, I read this:              Tyler, an old man, who likes to write complaints to a local newspaper.       Young (Adam Young) is a boy.              -----Beginning of the citation-----       There was a commotion on the grass. Shutzi, who was a particu?larly       refined toy French poodle, of the kind only possessed by people who were       never able to fit children into their household budgets, was being       menaced by Dog.              "Master Young," ordered R. P. Tyler, "please get your mutt away from my       Shutzi." Tyler did not trust Dog. When he had first met the dog, three       days ago, it had snarled at him, and glowed its eyes red. This had       impelled Tyler to begin a letter pointing out that Dog was undoubt?edly       rabid, certainly a danger to the community, and should be put down for       the General Good, until his wife had reminded him that glowing red eyes       weren't a symptom of rabies, or, for that matter, anything seen out?side       of the kind of film that neither of the Tylers would be caught dead at       but knew all they needed to know about, thank you very much.              Adam looked astounded. "Dog's not a mutt. Dog's a remarkable dog. He's       clever. Dog, you get off Mr. Tyler's horrible of poodle."       ----- The end of the citation -----              I can't understand this:              ....red eyes weren't a symptom of rabies, or, for that matter, anything seen       out?side of the kind of film that neither of the Tylers would be caught dead       at but knew all they needed to know about, thank you very much.                     Bye, All!       PS: Thank you very much. ;)              --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
