Wht did you want to imagine 30 upside down, assuming that you aren't a creature (like a bat or sloth) that is normally in that position?

Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn't oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down.

That can be fixed, at least somewhat. I've been experimenting with substituting lower-calory flour for the higher-calory stuff. The downside is that the resulting smiley - cake doesn't taste quite the same.

Another option is to gradually make your pieces smaller, in increments of 2 or 3 millimeters.

A very good stratergy but unfortunately I have a little man
inside my head constantly monitoring what I eat.
He's not easily fooled and screams, "more smiley - cake!

Take away the little man's eyeglasses, so the slightly smaller piece of smiley - cake will look the same size as the slice he's used to. smiley - smiley

I'll have to try to remember that one. If I acquire the means within the foreseeable future, I plan on losing my footing momentarily.

I can't define it all that well, but here are some examples.

--Don't lose your footing to the extent that you slip and a huge rock falls on your hand.
--Don't lose your footing and fall into an enormous lemon meringuw pie.

Actually the lemon pie sounds a bit yummy. However, the losing my footing bit was .

I don't know what was on the tip of your tongue. Chances are, whatever it was, you were putting it to much better use than I ever could. smiley - smiley

Whatever the misplaced word was, I think it might have had something to do with metaphorically speaking.
