My friend is caught in the act - note contrite expression. |
Here is an excerpt about experiments from my book. 'A book?' You ask. 'Has Toffee written a book?' Yes I have! See adverts all over this blog. Well, I didn't want anyone to miss the fact that I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK.
In order to increase the sum of human knowledge, I have been investigating the effects of gravity on random objects.
The results of my experiments:
Coffee mug. Will break. Effect: Liquid content will spread and stain pale rug. Secondary effect: The old woman will scream and rush to get the carpet cleaner.
Jar of jam/jelly. Will break. Effect: Floor becomes sticky. Very sticky. Secondary effect: If anyone (*looks innocent) walks through it they will leave jammy footprints all over the house.
Newspaper. Will fall apart. Effect: The old man will bundle it back together again while swearing. Quite loudly. Secondary effect: The old man will start reading an article and become very confused because he's got the pages in the wrong order.
Glass bowls. Will break. Effect: The old woman will be upset because it was a gift from Aunt Maud. Secondary effect: The old man will do a fist pump because he's always hated it.
Pillow. Will fall and look very inviting. Too inviting. Effect: Zzzzzzzz.Secondary effect: Zzzzzzzz.
I'm thinking of changing my name to Einstein.

Well, I've finally done it. I have written my no-holds-barred exposé of my life. Prepare to be AMAZED, prepare to be SHOCKED, prepare to be ENTHRALLED. Left is the paperback, right is the Kindle version.
I love your "investigating the effects of gravity"!! Great second effects ;)
ReplyDeleteX is for…
I'm doing my best for science.
DeleteHave you reached any conclusions, or are you still experimenting? I think my Benny is conducting a life-long experiment on how much food he can eat at one sitting and still have enough room to eat his sister's dinner.
ReplyDeleteExperimenting is constant, Lisa. Your Benny is doing a grand job. I would be proud to know him.
DeleteI think that's enough experimentation for now. You're making *me* sleepy thinking of all that effort. ~grin~
ReplyDeleteIt is very tiring, Darla. I have to take frequent naps to get over the strain.
DeleteToffee- some folks would think you were a troublemaker, but in reality you are a scientist experimenting! Have a fantastic day figuring out stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe. I'm glad someone understands me.
DeleteYou are such a little scientist.
ReplyDeleteI really am - and a very successful one too.
