I wish I could resist the fits of giggles that sometimes overpower me during scenes. Say, yesterday I arrived for my detention. Abel placed in front of me the book I had to copy from. It was the Economist Style Guide; in the middle of the page there was a cartoon that illustrated the difference between “distinctive” and “distinct”.

And suddenly, there they were, the giggles. “Do I have to copy the picture too, sir?” I asked, choking on laughter and horrified at the same time. Ouch. I paid for that one.

Three with a dragon cane, in case you were wondering.
