Measurement

Eddie is carrying around measuring tape, offering to measure everybody. Then he solemnly announces "You are 4 inches feet long."

  2. Wow, that little anecdote is as enlightening as a great novel in what it reveals about human thought and behavior: our proclivity to carry around our own mental measuring tape to size up, evaluate, and adjudicate everyone and everything, but with the measuring tape preset and the answers it generates predetermined. Eddie, you've revealed more to us about the human condition than Dante, Montaigne, Goethe, and Dostoyevsky combined. Four inches feet long is the new (and more accurate) 42.
