If you don't eat your meat,
how can you have any pudding?

You should watch The Ten Commandments while concurrently playing Dark Side of the Moon. The analogous dialogue is more clever than a Beatles LP played backwards.

Of course, it helps if you smoke a doobie at the same time. Or two.

Consuming only pudding causes one to become comfortably numb.

I've always felt sorry for those poor British kids. Every time I hear that song I've imagined that the meat had to be mutton or liver and the pudding wasn't even worth it, like plum pudding, rice pudding with raisins or some other crap.

Yeah, that British solid "pudding" stuff? That looks like lumpy cake? That's just wrong.

Actually, I learned last summer that the Brits use the word "pudding" as a generic term meaning "dessert".

And I suppose I should have said "Hebrew" instead of "Egyptian".

Oh, Hebrew. Now that totally makes sense.

Are you saying that British schoolteachers enforce kosher? If their pudding doesn't contain dairy products then the kids are good to go.

No, man. It's a chiasmus!

Nice. I'm a little thick. All I remember about chiasmus was my BOM class at BYU. It appears that Pink Floyd utilized the ABBA form.

Confucius also utilized chiasmus in his teachings, so maybe Pink Floyd is Chinese.

Chiasmus reminds me of the movie Mystery Men where Ben Kingsley's character kept using it to sound profound.

Would it work even better if we watched that BoM movie instead?
