It's amazing to me how nobody seems to know about the short story "The great automatic grammatizator" by Roald Dahl. Nobody got closer than him. I feel like I should be reading about it all the time and no one seems to have ever heard of it.

Roald Dahl also wrote a story about two dudes who wanted to try each other's wives without getting consent from said wives so they swapped places in the middle of darkness and then the next morning, one of the dude's wives said to her husband, "Holy shit, whatever you did last night was amazing. I never liked doing the hot dog dance before but if you can keep doing what you did last night, I'll always be down!"

Why would you out of nowhere spoil a book like that?

		Yeah sounds like a real winner of a short story at the top of the priority list.

		Because the horror of dahl’s adult stories are as pervasive even if knowing the ending. I reread many times and still get the same sense of impending doom barbarically twisting fates in the mind - what if it was true?
