It's more than just a feeling--it's a philosophy

Heavy makes you happy, drying up your drink
Oh, spread a little heavy and it makes somebody sing

MadisonMan said...: My first reaction: How on Earth does Prof. A. know about Goliath Caskets (Is Supersize Me! their motto?)

But then I saw they were noted in the article.; 1/22/06, 10:00 PM
Tripp Hall said...: That casket company's name is hilarous. Goliath was "oversize," but I can hardly see why anyone would want to associate their deceased relatives with someone who was killed and beheaded by a pipsqueak. I suppose it's a little better than Leviathan.; 1/22/06, 11:37 PM

Oh, my.

Generally speaking, I understand, and/or at least tolerate and encourage with humor, the phrase "Let no pun go unresisted."

In this case ... well ... Resist! Resist!?
