so long as
He is good at extrapolating so long as it is a box. A good many things fit into a box of all sizes.
   Sometimes it is impossible to prove a point point blank. Sometimes a line is long enough.
   Sometimes the same box is a different fish. Not just any fish will do. That he wants to go over
   there.                     Look.                  They are beginning to eat men here. The fish wriggles.
   The box is a fish out of water. That fasteners remain fasteners whether fastened or not. When
   people buy it, it is a fish. The box ties one on. What is good enough for the fish is good enough
   for the box. It is good that the fish is not fastened. People eat what looks to be fish. The fish
   spills. The box is simpler than the fish.                     Look.       Perfectly cooked, but still no one
   wants to eat it. It is a good box when people buy it. That the box and the fish are not over there.
   Good is to a box as good as it looks. The fish is alive. That a story is a box. He fills in the box
   marked name. What is good enough for the fish is good enough for the box.                 Look.
          When people buy it, it is a fish. Sometimes it is impossible to prove a point point blank.
           Sometimes a line is long enough.
He is good at extrapolating so long as it is a box. A good many things fit into a box of all sizes.
