unearths some literary gems.
From Max Smart and the Perilous Pellets, by William Johnston:

"Well, you know how we brilliant doctors are...a little absent-minded sometimes."
"Indeed I do," Dr. Medulla replied. "In fact, I practice absent-mindedness every morning for a half-hour. I hope to be a brilliant doctor myself someday."
***
"I can prove I'm the doctor," the man said. "Look--here is my little black bag!"
"But he has a little black bag, too," Dr. Medulla said, indicating Max.
"My little black bag is blacker than his little black bag!" the man raged.
[...]
"Yes," Max pointed out, "but my little black bag is littler than his little black bag."
