12:1

To all outward appearances the beaver was a cool as the proverbial cucumber.

You do know the proverb of the cucumber right? You don’t’? Really? The cucumber proverb… seriously? Wow. I’m, I’m speechless.

Huh, I’m at loggerheads here… you do know about logger heads right? (It’s an Idiomatic expression meaning ‘engaged in a dispute.’) … I feel it is my duty to get on with the story but… seriously? No inkling of the famous, ubiquitous, we-all-learn-it-when-we-are-kids cucumber proverb? Still nothing… Huh. And that means you don’t know any of the cucumber proverbs… none of them. Zippo, zero, zilch.

I can’t do it. I have to fix this. It’s just insane that you don’t know and I have to fix it.

So… how ’bout I give you ten to start. See if that jogs your memory?
