RE: babies in the bathwater; and bathwater in the babies

I heard this one while still in swaddling clothes.

Luke: My what big teeth you have grandmother.
John: Come a little closer my dear, I can't hear you.
Luke: I said 'MY WHAT BIG TEETH YOU HAVE'.
John: (quickly) The better to eat you with!

and all along there was plenty to eat in the basket.

And these things can only be an amusement for me because these ideas cannot
be discussed in any thorough or serious way in a forum such as this, in
short posts without the time or the space to properly read and cite texts in
detail or to discuss pages at length. To study this sort of material
properly, one would need time and the chance to read and discuss specific
texts in great detail and one would need a forum where such a close, patient
detailed reading and discussion would not tax the others in the forum to a
cruel degree. This is a listserv, Luke, and serious, thorough, and
responsible discussion of complex philosophical ideas and texts is not
likely to take place here.
