/s4s/ - Shit [s4s] Says

After a lecture on cosmology and the structure of the solar system, Anonymous was accosted by a little old lady.

"Your theory that the sun is the centre of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. Anonymous, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory," said the little old lady.

"And what is that, madam?" inquired Anonymous politely.

"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant le smuchu."

Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, Anonymous decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.

"If your theory is correct, madam," he asked, "what does this le smuchu stand on?"

"You're a very clever man, Mr. Anonymous, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first le smuchu stands on the back of a second, far larger, le smuchu, who stands directly under her."

"But what does this second le smuchu stand on?" persisted Anonymous patiently.

To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,

"It's no use, Mr. Anonymous—it's le smuchus all the way down."
