Lest We Forget

My memory is like the yellowed newspaper that is under the linoleum in an old leaky house. It's all there, but can I really be bothered excavating when that only leads to glue sanding and board polishing? I hate power tools.

Well the point is that a bad memory is a good thing. It means you can hear stories from your childhood that are complete news to you. Your favourite book or film is a blank slate after 7 years has passed.

But best of all, you can enjoy anew the moments in history that shaped the course of the future. I am of course referring to the time that Charles whispered to Camilla that he wished himself to be reincarnated as her tampon, and the whole world found out.
