• Hilarious in Hindsight: Explaining British ways to the Americans, foreshadowing the idea of the Channel Tunnel.
  We still drive on the left side, to keep your sword arm free. But this is going to change, because they're digging this tunnel through to France: there will be a nasty bang in the middle.
