a series of loaves

"It looks like a tube," says Allyson.
"It does?"
"Yeah!" She picks up the loaf of freshly-baked bread she's just made and waves it about. "A tube!"
"It is not a tube," I say, frowning at the loaf of bread, which bears a remarkable resemblance in shape to an AirPort access point.
"It's a series of tubes," she says, cutting off another slice

A tube is like a disk. It's a disk that's been elongated along its Z-axis. *nods*

Its a series of tubes?

I had no idea that loaves of freshly baked breads were connected to The Internets.

Are you kidding?

In this house, everything is connected to The Internets, including the cat.

No, a tube is a *circle*, not a disk. Topologically speaking, that is.

Now wait a minute. If a tube is like a disk because it's a geometric shape, isn't a tube also like a pyramid or parallelogram?

I read nearly the entire anecdote before I realized that the word was tube and not lube.
