"Is it about the hedge?"*

Or: The Mighty Osmosis Has Spoken

 

Re 3:  Hugh had given us advice on hedge funds and ha-has; now he advises hedging bets.  Unless the "Hairy Thunderer"** regards that as "dreadful toadying,"*** it's hard to think of a down side.

Many thanks btw.; much of what little I know of Shakespeare comes from NER by way of osmo- must remember to avoid hackneyed phrases, including "hackney phrases."

 

*A question asked of Death in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.  And speaking of death by salmon, I should let you all know that I learned yesterday that it is possible to swallow one of those disposable pop-up cooking temperature thingees. While bone, metal and glass are well seen on xray, plastic is not.  Fortunately the device in a certain someone's salmon incorporated a metallic spring.  I pray that the wisdom bequeathed by the ER staff consulted which sometimes passeth all understanding will hold up under (gag) close inspection, and that this, too, will pass. I should thank the Big Guy; for all I know, Dr. Darrylpimple has had patients who ingest foreign bodies deliberately.

Well, that's cast rather a gloom over the thread.  Does this help?
