What Gives?
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 45588
|
At last Fred had had enough and arose from his chair with the solemnity
and majesty of a pope with haemorrhoids. His hand shaking like that of a
priest on his wedding night, Fred approached the wall whereupon hung the
poster and, gingerly grasping the top corner thereof gingerly 'twixt
thumb and
pinkie, began
to pull. Progress was good and within an hour or so he had managed to almost completely disassociate wall and paper. However the last corner, as was so often the case, proved to be Fred's downfall. It refused to budge no matter how hard Fred pulled. He tried various alternative techniques: using thumb and ring finger instead; using thumb and middle finger; using thumb and index finger; using thumb, pinkie and index finger; using thumb, pinkie and ring finger; using thumb, pinkie and middle finger; using thumb, middle finger, index finger and teeth. Among others. It was no good - Fred would have to resort to unsportsmanlike means. He used both hands together and pulled for all he was worth, with negligible effect. In homge to Archimedes he raised his right foot and placed it against the wall in order to gain greater leverage. Leaning back and once again using both hands he pulled as hard as he could. Surely, he thought, something has to give.
