I've just done some interesting Talleywhacker math. If you've worked on 250,000 broken Talleywhackers over the course of 30 years, that breaks down to about 8,000 Talleywackers per year. Lets assume you work about 50 weeks per year. That works out to appromately 160 Talleywhackers per peek or (based on a 5 day week) about 32 Talleywhackers per day. Therefore, if you work an 8 hour day, you have worked on about 4 Talleywhackers per hour or one every 15 minutes.
Now I don't know about you but it seems to me that working on a new Talleywhacker every 15 minutes could have a deleterious effect on one's mental balance. It could cause someone to become overly absorbed by Talleywhackers to the point where it could affect ones mental balance and make the victim unable to put Talleywhackers into the proper perspective.
Of course, I'm not talking about you. You seem to have kept the topic of Talleywhackers from becoming an obsession.
