Rebecca Hilarious! Once I dreamt that I was undergoing surgery, and after studying the sketchy-looking surgical staff for awhile, I realized that they were just the doctor’s wife and teenaged children, and that they probably had no medical training at all. I started to protest and tried to leave the operating room, but the…
I admit it. I laughed. When I saw the convincing reality of the dream exposed, laid bare, unclothed, and suddenly became lucid, laughter seemed very appropriate. I laughed at my own stupidity, my ability to overlook innumerable clues and still not get it. I laughed at the delightful nature of the game, which appeared…

Many depict living creatures or objects (and) some signs represent the object they depict… However, very few words are written in this way.
