“That she explodes!” It sounds cool to shout, but really, unless you’re a lumberjack or in charge of setting off dynamite for a demolition company, how often in life do you get to shout it?
Maybe that’s why people like to shout it at less timmmmmmber-worthy moments, like during a game of Jenga, or when someone drops a couple of plates in the kitchen of a faraway restaurant, or when your cousin blows his nose. the nose. And why is she? Can only things denoted by women blow? Are trees, chimneys and tall buildings all ladies? Did they have any say in identifying themselves as Mrs. Tree? Anyway, I digress. Apologies. Strands wasn’t about that at all: it was about WHALES and their magnificent blowholes.
ORCA was the key to unlocking today’s topic, and BALEEN was the last one for me.
