Why, one of my nephews seems to possess a genuine knack for math and the hard sciences. Runs in the family, good Norwegian stock. Just the other day, he was over at the house, and Rondomere, our Weimaraner was dozing on the rug. The nephew pulled out a tape measure - and we thought, what's he gonna do now? And he proceeded the measure the entire length - he wasn't skimping any -- nope, the entire length of Rondomere from nose to tail. Course, when he reached the tail, Rondomere did let out a little growl. But -- wouldn't ya know it -- no sooner did he finish, that he proceeded to measure Rondomere the other way -- tail to nose, and, dad burn it if the two measurements didn't come so close, you thought, now there's a genius at work. Less than an inch off each way! And I can swear to that.
Well, after that display of technical know-how, the family looked at each other proudly and the little lady said she was gonna bake us another bean casserole -- because we all knew it without saying: That cousin has a bright future with NASA! Just a question of who's gonna make the first move. I don't mind sayin' it right off the top.
