+ | ====== Cheese Thermometer ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As requested by the Lady Katerina De Barbershoppe on the twenty third night of March in bequest of Baron Von Munchausen to one Baron Celsius Von Barrow. Being transcripts of some merit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **I'd heard of you work in temperature in France. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: And how you didn't actually use the Eiffel Tower.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, at the time I believe it was on its way to Louisiana. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: I believe there were no rabbits involved whatsoever.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | There were rabbits involved. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was recovering from a cold at the time. My doctor recommended a light trampling - an American chap, you might know him? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Captain Sir Robert: Isn't it a fact, I'm afraid a well known fact, that Baronet Clive Masterly' | ||
+ | |||
+ | I had reason to suspect when he, and I won't mention it as there are ladies present, where he had me put the thermometer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I had to stick this thermometer on Mercury, and other unmentionable places. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: How did you manage to obtain a Mercurian vulture all the way from Mercury without having to go to Mercury first?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Racing vultures are raised in pairs, for long distance travel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Captain Sir Robert: I thought it was rather simpler than that? Mercury being up in the sky, all you had to do was push the egg off the edge and it would fall to the Earth?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can do that, but not all eggs bounce. | ||
+ | The key thing is, being a herd breed, your common racing vulture bring it clutch-mate. | ||
+ | The cheese, I was getting to the cheese... | ||
+ | Travel to Mercury was lovely this time of year. Mercury is in fact lovely every time of the year. It's close to Sun you see and therefore of a much balmier temperature all year around. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: So you made the entire trip in the day then?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well you have to you see, the vultures need to see their way, they' | ||
+ | This was a dashed inconvenience though as I'd recently come out of traction and wasn't feeling my best. It was a dreadful year - the Tuning Forks were on strike, I'd lost an Eiffel Tower, it was not a good time for me. So what I thought was - what I really need to do, is invent a better thermometer. | ||
+ | For reasons best not gone into, the returning vulture homed in on a landmark in Paris. | ||
+ | I found myself in the remains of a large gathering and a large amount of blue lard. I thought this would be the perfect thing for a thermometer. | ||
+ | As you know lard, being a fatty thing, if exposed to temperature it becomes high. | ||
+ | Unfortunately the lard had been eaten and I had to settle for the next best thing - cheese. | ||
