“Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito” / The Clash
Too many texts in too many subjects, Hebrew, English. Mind starts to float. Load another site. Download another paper. Expulsion of the Jews in Spain. An innocent title, but someone made a typo when typing up the file name. A simple switch, two flipped letters. Explusion of the Jews in Spain. My mind, tired, takes the next required step. A simple switch, one vowel for the other. Explosion of the Jews in Spain. Other parts of my brain, alerted to the possibilities, join in the fun. The visuals start pouring in: synagogues in Pythonesque explosions. Maimonides, his face a mask of utter surprise, blasted into smithereens. The images cascade: detonated paellas rain down rice and shrimp. Python makes a comeback as red-robed cardinals are hurled through the sky. I am no longer fit for human company, and people are starting to give me funny looks.
