Bill was caught off guard and stood puzzled for a moment, "It's nearly April, but I guess I could buy a small surprise for my wife. Do you have any heart-shaped candy boxes?"
"Well, we are sold out of the traditional 'two-hump' hearts. But we do still have a considerable amount of unihump hearts left." The clerk forced a smile.
"It's an upside-down raindrop."
"No! It's a unihump heart. The unihump symbolizes the . . . one-ness . . . of the love you have . . . Yeah, okay, it's an upside-down raindrop."

I better get a bunch of royalties for this when the unihump heart catches on. Here is just one great example of how awesome these can be. How better to express your love than with a unihump heart?
Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!
