"...everything was going as normally as possible for this department; while research into large-bore partillery had stalled (despite the immediate success of Project Funderbuss), we had a breakthrough this morning upon renaming the project's intended product the Revel Railgun.

"Sadly, our lucky streak was broken in the afternoon when Shaved Barber jokingly suggested 'pulling oneself out of one's own mane' as an example of a bootstrap paradox.
