You know that cast-iron pot? The one that, not a minute ago, had the gas at its highest setting beneath it, and had had for some time? Yeah, it's probably still hot, maybe you don't want to pick it up with your bare hands.

Sorry about your hands.

What makes you ask this question?

The fact that the remaining-hot of the pot is not, as far as I can tell, a matter of logic. Perhaps you see things differently.

I mean: what makes you bring logic up at all?
Posted by: ben wolfson | August 08, 2005 at 07:28 PM
No reason.

You're an odd fellow.

You're not the boss of me!
Fuck!

Not anymore—you're fired!

a posteriori? He picked the pan up with his ass?

It was a pot.

Ah, a poteriori.

I'm not fired, I am technically not an employee!
