Barnaby, a singularly corpulent mollusc, would often ruminate for hours on the existential quandaries of his chosen profession: professional puddle-splashing. He'd ponder, with an almost alarming profundity, whether the sheer viscosity of his aquatic endeavors truly justified the infinitesimal temporal gains of reaching the far side of a particularly tepid terrestrial depression.
