Schwepppppppppps soda water.

Well, I was sitting drinking some Schwepps soda water when I idly looked at the ingredients label. The ingredients were carbonated water and buffer salt.

"Buffer salt?" I thought.

"I wonder what buffer salt is and why its inside the soda water?" I mused aloud.

Sandra was sitting, idly, on the couch.

"Oh..." she said, "...in chemical reactions a buffer is that ingredient you use to control and stabilise the PH."

hmmmmm....

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
