» Family codes and rituals
Mass assumed stupidity
My wife's family are a very clever lot, erudite and intelligent to a human. However, when I first met them all I was struck by some "agreed non-facts" that they took as gospel. The two that come to mind are:
1. Calling the flamboyant pianist and lady-d'un-certain-age's man "Liber Archie". As though the Liber bit was an honorific. I imagine it would have translated as Free Archie, like Free Willie (he probably would have).
2. The well-known anagram "A man, a plan, a caravan", which would be brought up whenever anagrams were discussed (surprisingly often) and they'd all nod sagely, as if to say, "Yep, that's an anagram all right, ticks all the boxes!"
Funny thing is, they thought I was a bit slow because I didn't "know" these things.
[edit]
I still don't.

No you didn't.
Ricky Gervais tells that particular story better.

It's pretty obvious
that GL already knows and understands those points - but is voting for the bag vag on grounds of creativity.
Personally I think that it's a bij improvement.
