Reference :- The lead up to the big slugfest with the ABC's Paul Murray ( revealed in a previous Sky Reply ) intensified , as Andy Bolt attempted to ridicule Paul's understanding of carbon chemistry .
Andy , it really wasn't a good idea to puff a blast of carbon dioxide and various other fumes from your pulmonary sacs to illustrate that carbon dioxide is an invisible gas . Everybody knows that , including Paul Murray . Likewise we don't need to be told that soot is black carbon . ( Also , considering all the trouble you have had with the legal fraternity over racial matters , I think perhaps it would be wise in your instance to call it "carbon of colour " just to be on the safe side ) .
It appears you have failed to notice that since carbon dioxide has become the second most talked about substance on the planet , after beer , folks have decided to shorten the name to "carbon " .
I know it is very complicated for you to understand , so by way of illustration , I offer this simple example . If I was to ask you " Do you consume alcohol before each show , Andy ? " , what I am actually asking is " Do you consume alcoholic beverages before each show , Andy ? " Clearly you wouldn't be drinking pure alcohol . I think the technical term , if you google it , is " abbreviation ".
My son, Ken junior , is convinced that you like to chug a few back before each show , which is why you regularly sound like a victim of glossitis . He says if you do want to try some pure alcohol you are welcome to visit us this saturday when we crack open the batch of moonshine that we decanted from the still last Monday . It will have just the right age on by then , and he reckons you look like a man who would appreciate the vintage stuff .
Your comrade , Ken.
