Philosophical Interlude #1

Perhaps at this point in the narrative, the reader would expect the author to arrived at a certain issue or theme which will become prevalent in the work to come, or, as it is said in the vernacular, the point of the story. For example, it is said among Hollywood filmwriters that a screenplay is usually judged by its first ten pages. Hollywood filmwriters, in a connected issue, also believe that should one eat a spectacularly unpleasant breakfast (for example, a toad), nothing worst will happen to one all day. (Or at least, nothing so dramatic. This is L.A. we're talking about, after all).

No one knows what Hollywood toads say. Contemplating the number of screenwriters in Hollywood, the population has most likely been extinct for years.
