The Cat in the Hat

 

Thing 1, Thing 2, Language One, and Language Two are having breakfast [prayer meeting] at Hash House.

 

Language One (looks like Hillary): Category Theory is an important scientific milestone.

Language Two (looks like Barack): Yes, it is like learning words after A, B, C…

Thing 1: I can say A B C backwards

Language Two: Category Theory is like writing sentences after words.

Thing 2: I can count A in S H A K E S P E A R E

Language One: Category theory is like going from Shakespeare to contemporary poetry.

Thing 1 (looks like Dick Cheney): I leave ashen count.

Thing 2 (looks like Rupert Murdoch): Thing 1 is inhaling—life into the disembodied contemporary discourse.
