'I know what you're thinking, punk,' hissed Wordy Harry to his new Editor,'you're thinking, "Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?"--and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement; but being as this is English, the most powerful language in the world, whose subtle nuances will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel loquacious?"--well do you punk?"
