Writing on the sole of your slipper with a biro
Of course The Best Things In Life is best remembered for the refrain there is nothing better in life than writing on the sole of your slipper with a biro but I’m rather fond of we’ve seen the prices at the zoo as well. And send me back to art school if I’m wrong, but isn’t the painting of a bloke with an apple in front of his face by Magritte, not Dali? I’ll get me coat.

It was Magritte. I like the one of the bloke with his nose growing into his pipe, used as the cover for Alan Hull’s Pipedream album. Good album. Good picture.
One small point: ’skeptical’ is usually an American spelling. The British version is ’sceptical’. I can’t tell the difference upon listening but…
I’ll just skip wilfully off to pedant’s corner.

Pedants’ Corner, shurely, Neil?

Not necessarily. It could be a corner specifically set aside for a single pedant who must remain there until the next pedant comes along to displace him. However, I take your point. (Exit left stewing surlily).

Or indeed Pedantry Corner, as Private Eye has given in and renamed its own after just this sort of demonstration of virtuoso anorakery.
