You
are welcome: but my uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived.
Hamlet
Hamlet
Act
II, Scene ii, Line 381
Why are they deceived?
Because, says Hamlet, I am but mad north northwest:
when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw.
He’s speaking in riddles more or less. Hamlet knows that the
king has sent Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find out what’s going on with
him, and why he’s been acting so strange, so he’s just toying with the pair.
A hawk from a handsaw. I wonder why Will picked
that pair of items. Random? Oh, I doubt it. See, here’s another
discussion opportunity. Why a hawk and a handsaw. Why not a rake from a rocking
chair?
Well?
Or how about a chihuahua and a jigsaw puzzle, eh?
What, you think a chihuahua can't do a jigsaw puzzle?
Now you're just being chihuahuaist.

I think he can chew a jigsaw puzzle. I don't think he can do one though.
That's probably correct. In fact, I know from experience that he can chew one.
