The spoon was a tablespoon. Billy thrust it into the vat, turned it around and around, making a gooey lollopop. He thrust it into his mouth.

Best line in Slaughterhouse Five, that last one. I don't know why. Yes, I've decided to make up eleventh-grade English, which I sort of missed.

I was interested to learn that the bombing of Dresden was on my adopted birthday. "The Florence of the Elbe."

Adopted birthday?
