Muchaos, and Muchchas: Mythical Month Man on Missing Metaphor (from today's 'fortune' cookie)

[LDR]

while
seated between two portly passengers will recognize the difference --
one can
see only a very few things at once.

Yet one more reason to lose weight (and wait, i.e., transition from
Cygwin to Linux).
