The paper was accepted but there was one small difficulty. The editor took exception to the figure of speech which he had employed in order to create a simple picture of some otherwise obscure mathematics. He had referred to a "drunkard on a staircase." At a time when most scientific articles are so soporific that train drivers and pilots should be forbidden even to look at them, why do editors object to language that has a bit of bite to it, or a personal flavour? Perhaps in this case it was considered to be a gratuitous insult to certain unfortunates? "Well," said my friend, "I tried a 'meandering aunt' and the answer from the Word Control Police was still 'no.'" I replied that I'd had a few of those wandering ladies in my own family, and found the analogy charming. No, he insisted, it was a "meandering ant." Aunts may well be a sensitive social group to be respected at all times, but ants are surely not. Admittedly, if faced by a column of African army ants I would not choose to dispute the matter.
