The Capacity of Trope
In my bestselling memoir The Opacity of Rope, I shall describe my experiences on the night of the great earthquake. Here is a sneak preview.
'I woke to be told there had been a great earthquake. I had felt nothing. But I was deeply concerned for those who had been woken in the middle of the night in nearby Lincolnshire.'
The Rapacity of Soap is, as you see, to be a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred account of the turbulent years of change, earthquakes and alien visitations. The Tenacity of Dope will tell it like it is which is not like people think it is, but something quite different. The Fepacity of Bope will also describe the way I appeared to lose my grip on the morning after the great 'quake.

The earth may have moved for you, but it didn't for me.

In that case, Captain, I can only apologise.

Bryan, don't leave out that chapter 'The Mendacity of Nope', recounting your hopeless struggle to come to terms with lying politicians who say 'yep' when they mean 'nope'

I felt it. And it was terrifying. The alarm clock rattled on the shelf above the bed and this morning my car keys were at least an inch away from where I left them.

"The Capacity of Snopes" was a tale by William Faulkner set in Yoknapatawpha County.

Meant "Duplicity of Snopes." Consider all the words that begin with "sn-" -- they're mostly negative. Faulkner knew what he was doing with names.
Caddie! Caddy!
