h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

From your current name suffix, this might appeal (or perhaps you know it).

A Draughtsman residing in Poole
Was possessed of a singular tool.
Said he, matter-of-factly,
"Twelve inches exactly,
'though I don't use it much as a rule."

Now there is a strange thing. I knew the expression, but not the limerick - I'm into limericks. The really strange thing is that I live - youv'e guessed - Poole. Spooky

indeed.
Tell me you're a draftsman and I really will be amazed!

I confess that I am also very fond of a good limerick - especially those with a double-meaning, like the one above. Another favourite is:

A daring young lady named Hall
Wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
But the dress caught on fire
And burned her entire
Front page, sporting section 'n all.

I used to play some of the limerick games on hootoo, and always enjoyed them, but I never got much work done!

Ditto. I'm not a draughtsman although I have an A-level in Engineering Drawing. Spooky enough?

Quite sufficiently close that I shall enquire no further about any additional correlation, for fear of being made to feel inadequate

Strictly average
