aversion to tentacles


Some conversations are very surreal. Like one I had recently. Someone said they never eat anything with tentacles. How very odd.

I tried to argue that tentacles are similar to limbs, and after all people munch on lamb chops and chicken drumsticks etc. The response to this was "can we describe a human being as having tentacles?".

I didn't think of it at that time, but I now realise that if it was an octopus or squid speaking, this is how they would describe us: "look darling, there goes that humanoid...have you noticed the branching tentacles they have...urrrggghh...remind me never to eat one".

But then what can one expect of male logic.
