That's very funny.

Once I answered a question about flattening prints, by describing how  
I put the prints between blotters under a big piece of plate glass  
and weigh it down with the Oxford English dictionary, adding that  
it's the 2-volume "Compact" edition published in 1971, that he should  
use.   I was kind of disappointed that he didn't seem to appreciate  
the humor.
