"Little Black Sambo"

BTW... did you know that the author of the above was the grandmother of the Physicist who discovered the Higgs Boson (and the Higgs-Kibbel mechanism)?

I don't ever intend to discount that metaphor (analogical thinking) can be abused...  and I believe that the more colorful the metaphor, the more seductive it's misuse.

In the "excess meaning" department:

Seems like a personal question, but: "What color is your Metaphor" and "does your wife know you have been seduced by it?"
