The Pointy End

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

The reality show "Farmer Wants A Wife" continues and Caro and I have become obsessed with the phrase, "the pointy end".

As the farmers near decision time on who they will marry they all tend to say very farmer-y things like, "Awww yeah... well we're gettin' to the pointy end now. Yeah."

They are scintillating conversationalists.

"What does it even MEAN?" asked Caro. 

I speculated that maybe we are at the pointy end too.

"We've been together for 25 years now," said Caro with an eye-roll.

"So... we're at the BLUNT end?" I asked, horrified.

"We're at the worn out NUB end," continued Caro.

It's a fair observation, but probably not one for sharing on blip. 

Oh well.
