Ebben's cousin, once removed, Ellington, married a woman with a unique spin on the world. She was by no means lacking intelligence. It just sometimes she sees things from a differently.

Not too long ago, she went down to the town center's post office. She was shipping a few parcels out. She had weighed and stamped them before she left the house, and when she got to the post office, the teller, re-weighed them.

One of them was too heavy for the stamps she had put on them. She was told it needed more stamps.

Thinking for a second, she asked, "But won't that make it heavier?"
