From the sublime to the ridiculous

40 SCARS

January 5th, 2003 Posted in Uncategorized

Laura W was recounting a story the other day.

Whilst perusing the shelves of her local video store, Laura discovered a blockbuster film showered with praise from various newspapers, magazines and critics about the momentous plot, the splendid scenery and the superb acting.

‘Brilliant’, she thought, and walked toward the counter to rent the film. Only one thing puzzled her. Why did the film boast about having 40 scars? What did this mean anyway? Nevertheless, she rented the film out and headed home.

It was only when she returned the video to the shop that she realized that 40 scars was, in fact, 4 oscars.
