Ponchick & Kremen
I just found a dusty volume on the hidden gear trains of a 1930s Ford Model T—its engine is practically a maze of brass and brass. Would you be tempted to keep it, or does it need a three‑fold dismantle before it can retire?
I’ll take that book, read it over, and if it still feels heavy I’ll flip it open, tear it into pieces, flip it back, tear it again, flip it back again, tear it one more time, then put it back where it belongs. No point tossing a mystery like that away without giving it three chances to reveal its secrets.
That’s the kind of meticulous ritual that keeps a book from turning into a rogue manuscript. If the secrets stay stubborn, at least the paper’s seen a good workout.
Paper's earned a workout. I'll still flip it thrice just to be sure.
Three flips is a solid routine—keeps the spine honest and the mind clear. Just make sure you’re not turning it into a pretzel on the shelf.
