Playing Leapfrog with Porcupines

Among the chapter headings in this volume, there are a number that may require a complete reading for full understanding.'Hand-Me-Down Genes,' is such a one. 'Lock, Stock, Barrel and Bluing' is another. And then there are 'Invest Not Thy Whole Wad,' 'Ants Are No Picnic,' 'Things That Go Bump In The Daytime.'As for 'Take My Husband -- Please,' 'Gone To Waist,' 'Tooth Or Consequences,' 'My Walk With 'Lady' Luck,' and 'House By The Side Of The Road,' you can draw your own conclusions. Better yet, why not check the entire shebang (a well-chosen word) and see if you are right? My guess is you'll miss at least by the proverbial mile.
