Ask to borrow his lighter, light up a smoke, and then talk about classic cars. Now you're friends.

Ah, that's more what I expect. Of course, most of his readership will look at that top book and try to remember if Karl was the one with the horn that didn't talk.

Ben is losing his touch if he thinks his target audience knows what a "Maoist" is.

His later stuff is quite a bit harder. Alice gets more metal as he ages.

My generation will have tech illiteracy problems worse than the boomers. Yours will be even worse than mine. It's because most people reach a point where they stop trying to keep up with everything and fall behind.

You'll start to see it after you pass 40 or so. Then when you're in your 60s it'll be your generation's turn to be mocked as the bumbling idiots who ruined the world.

So have fun with that.

Sure, I'll just smuggle in European toilets to replace the perfectly serviceable toilets in my house.

Shall I remove the toilet seats and paper as well to really get that "Spanish gas station" feel?

Or maybe - just maybe - it's not a big enough problem for anyone to take the time to fix.

Yes, but people tend to have the habit of flushing at least twice in hopes the second time works, despite past experience.

That won't stop it from overflowing. You need to pop the lid off the toilet, push the float down, and unhook the chain going to the flap.

My father is barely literate and has been a trucker for over 30 years.
