(Now imagine the ear-splitting BLAAH-dah-nah-na of an overtaking highway truck, which came to me with perfect clarity while reading #7.) My favorite is #5, though. The urine similie places you firmly in the realm of brilliant Indian descriptive writing. I hope your typology has helped you cope, at least as much as it has entertained us.

But the bovine irritants are nothing compared to the human ones. These too, incidentally, are distinguishable by their horns." Brilliant.
