For Dummies Only

Yesterday in the check-out line at the supermarket I saw a small-format book with the title Numerology for Dummies. It promised to explain the important and mysterious effects that numbers have in one's daily life.

"How singularly appropriate!" I thought. How likely is it that Numerology for Really Smart People who Know what a Crock of You-Know-What Numerology Is would be a best-selling title?

    But then, SW, it does seem to me that Numerology for Dummies is truth in advertising. What a shock!

    How many pages would numerology for people with an IQ over 95 who realise that numerology is a crock have? three, four tops? I mean, how long does it take to write "laugh and point!"
