That scene always bugged me.  Meaning what you say is *not* the same as
saying what you mean.

It seems to me that I can say much less than what I mean, but still mean
everything I say.

Movie reviews are a good example:

As reprinted by the publisher:
It'll have you jumping out of your seat....

As written by the reviewer:
...vomitting all the way to the bathroom!

See what I mean?

And yes, I did drive my folks crazy with this circa age 10.
