Typo in the title?
Nah.

I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
Small potatoes taste the sweetest, and you simply take that noble quest to its ultimate limit. Genius fitting for a Don.

DeleteYou could have tetrapilotomised them into fine French fries too, each one supporting a single grain of salt.
DeleteI mentioned your proposal, but as you could tell Tetrapilotomos is very busy these days with proofreading his 1669 pages short opus magnum "Pre-Assyrian Philately in a Nutshell". At least, in the moment I had said "tetrapilotomised" the corners of his mouth for a twinkle of my eyes twitched and I think I heard him murmur "Ah, a verbalist".
DeleteThe proof is in! But no small beer to be found for small potatoes?
ReplyDeleteSmall beer?! With respect, dear Lady Pipistrello, what ludicrous an idea!
DeleteSmiling. And wincing at the truth in the saying.
ReplyDeleteWhy wincing, Sue?
DeleteMostly because I wish that the fools were not so often favoured. But they are. In so many arenas.
DeleteAh, yes! Now I see, and agree. Thank you for explaining, Sue.
DeleteThe hand of Sean is not short
ReplyDeleteHa ha. It's all a matter of relation, eh?
