{{a|opcoboone|}}[[A.J. Paul]] manages to lure [[Edd Sweeney]] out of his office by calling from reception as a tax driver. Also they discover a way of communicating by transporting down a wormhole into another dimension in the time-space-tedium contiunnus. They key is to find a portal — these are usually negotiation oubliettes — which you have to slingshot yourself around, but if you miscalculate your trajectory you get sucked into it forever. Edd and AJ do this but work out that the must fundamental particle in space-tedium continuum does not collapse - indeed, the negotiation oubliette is a field constructed out of these fundamental particles — so the key is to find one. You have to reopen the portal and “[[Knee slide|knee-slide]]” out of it, using a legal weapon of inargumable, petulant, infintessimal objectionability that no-one can object to it, at which point a brief window opens  through which you can [[knee-slide]] or [[Swept-back wing glide|jet-plane]] out of it.

He cleared a space for his printing precipitating a small avalanche a metre away in which a wad of overgrown [[trust deed]]s and closing agendas, belching [[side letter]]s and half-wrecked [[amendment agreement]]s cascaded into a wastepaper basket and onto the floor.
