Awe, I'm just trying to keep you amused. To lots of high-schoolers,a
hyperbole is known as a hyperbowl, not to be confused with a superbowl,
superball, a hyperball, a hyperbole or hyperbowling, as I'm doing
here---oops, that's a metaphor.... (reminds me of a Abbott and Costello
sketch).

the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
