Hi Platt,
I like to use language creatively.
I like irony also.
To use a term which is very often applied to the relief of physical
discomfort when referring to quality of life is ironic don't you find?
Just imagine relieving oneself of quality!
Irony?
Are you American by any chance?
I am not familiar with Miss Tophie Sucker, but i suspect she may be a rather
self serving individual who likes to keep her candy to herself?
The irony here is that if others shared more Miss Sucker would never have
known poverty in the first place and being rich may have lost some of its
charm?
I suspect you may be rather fond of the 'pholding' stuff yourself?
Squonk.
