You need the Philosophy of Dilemma for Dummies book.
I can't buy it without reading "How to buy a book", which I can't read without reading "How to read a book"

This and That would make a lot of sense.
For one, "One thing" leads to "Another".

A long time ago, I read a story about how Piscataway, New Jersey got its name.

A man stood on the bank of the Raritan River, fishing without success.

Another man walks up and asks, "How's it going?"

Man #1 shrugs in frustration. "Quo ivit piscis??" [Where did the fish go??]

Man #2 points downstream. "Piscis? Thataway!"

I linked to it with the word 'here'. I guess I could have been a little clearer.

I think they re-constructed Dickory since I lived there. I remember my GPS used to say, take Hickory to Dickory to Dock.

When I was a kid there was an advert for some beer or other with Caesar telling his friend to "get two, Brutus".
