* * * * * Singing with scissors Bunny first proposed this trip several months ago and I was initiallty dubious. I mean, a trip to view barbershop quartets! I was reluctant to go, but Bunny assured me that I was under no threat of losing hair or limbs [1]. No, the only thing under threat was the ears [2]. We finally arrived [3] at the hotel [4]. As we were walking to our room, it seemed to me that barbershop quartets have shrunk over the years, but the lack of matching outfits, no singing and a definite lack of scissors meant that no, the people I was seeing were in fact Little People milling about. Too many to be conincidental and indeed, there really is a conference of Little People [5] scheduled at the same time and not some Lynchian nightmare. At least, not yet.
