That word does not mean what you think it means

Home sick today. Not too ill to read though - not quite. I read The Princess Bride. It seemed appropriate somehow.

Get well soon.

And, what word?

It is inconceivable that you don't know the word I mean.

I actually had to google that one - I've seen the movie three or four times, but didn't remember that incident.

But, you see, I am not left-handed either ...

Whereas I had the advantage of just having read the book which has all the same jokes as the film - and then some. Of course I read it left handed for the extra challenge.

My best friend and I were reading parts of the The Princess Bride aloud last night. It is obviously some in the zeitgeist.

Given the numerous references, I was thinking about reading it aloud. However, it seemed a bit pointless. What with being on my own and the fact that it would have made my sick head ache even more.

It must be something in the water. I re-watched the movie a short while ago. I was then inspired to re-read the book and made the shocking discovery that I no longer posessed it. So I went out and bought another copy. And then I read it.

Inconceivably satisfying!

I'd re-watched the movie recently too - that was why I grabbed it from the to-read shelf.
