Hmm. And *did* I say how much? No. Nobody ever does. If anybody ever did specify an amount of meaningfulness, what measurement would they use? And would they need to convert it from metrics for the benefit of Americans?

So. It's Christmas Eve, it's long past midnight, and I'm hanging around thinking about literal interpretations of common idioms. Oh, well. I suppose somebody has to be out here being weird while the rest of you are asleep.
