When Prohibition is applied to tobacco will cigars containing less than one-half of one per cent tobacco be permitted?
CHAPTER V
THE EQUATOR
The Earth is self-centred. Poised on an imaginary toe, she pirouettes round her self-centre, at the rate of over a thousand miles an hour.
We say imaginary toe because the Earth, owing to the enormous size of her waist, has never been able to see it.
To anyone with a waist measurement of twenty-five thousand miles the very existence of toes is purely problematical.
To wear an actual belt round a waist of such dimensions would be impossible even if it could be of any use. Instead, therefore, the Earth wears round her middle an imaginary line called the Equator.
