Hermeneutics lesson

Why are fire trucks red?

Fire trucks are red because newspapers are red. Newspapers originally cost 25 cents. Half of 25 is about 12. 12 inches are in a foot. A foot is a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was also a ship. Ships are in the ocean. Fishes are also in the ocean. Fish have fins. Fins fought the Russians. Russians are red and that's why fire trucks are red. They are always rushin' around.

    Illegitimate totality transfer is what Oss would have called that.

    Mark, I'm think there's some strange etymologizing going on there.
