From the Author
I have always tried to see the funny side of life, hence the stories in this booklet. I have often tried to redefine what certain words mean and it can be fun to play with their meanings. I have often wondered whether Shakespeare ever received a rejection from anyone and so I thought I would write my own. When The Bible was read to me at school I did wonder where the 'cross-eyed bear' had come from and where the other bear had gone, given that the animals went on to Noah's ark two-by-two.
From the Inside Flap
If we can have portfolios then when did the term starboardfolio fall out-of-favour? And we have discovered the mammoth, but we have found no evidence of the mambutterfly. Wouldn't the language be richer if we had?
