there’s this old recording of bertrand russell telling a story of having to receive guests as a child when the adults of the house were away and some older gentleman asking him, “‘it’s a very fine port they’ve given me; but why have they given it me in a claret glass?’ and *I* didn’t know the answer!”
I need this to become a meme because i constantly want to snowclone “it’s a very fine _ but why have they _”
