The possibilities for an inanity like that are endless.

You're such the plethora.

Maybe this time, you'll be able to show (for once) how I "edited" it.

Several years ago I was at a conference with a colleague from
Edmonton. We were sipping some very nice whisky and he made the
comment that "this would cost like twelve bucks back home". I didn't
have the heart to tell him that it cost twelve bucks in Chicagp. Now
that he can afford it, he owes me a drink.

OTOH, I think it's time for me to buy a large quantity of dollars (the US
ones, that is)...
