"You hungry, Smush?" Mogey enquired. "I'm making up a pot of rice."
"Oh indeed," Smush replied. "I'm hungrier than a man who's just eaten an entire Christmas goose."
"Uh... huh. So you're hungry, then?"
"Very. I'm so hungry I could eat the world's smallest whale."
"Then how much rice would you like?" said Mogey, clearly still parsing his pal's words.
"Lots!" said Smush. "At least eight."
"Eight... grains of rice?"
"Well, at least eight, yeah. I could easily eat more than a thimbleful."
"Who taught you how to make analogies?" Mogey demanded.
"You did," said Smush. "At our weekly lunch-and-learn. Remember?"
"Well I clearly did a terrible job," Mogey replied. "Because I'm more confused than a celebrated mathematician taking a freshman-level algebra quiz."
