aerodynamic booster fins and snouts
 

This is from "On His Deathbed, Holding Your Hand ..." by David F. Wallce.

"Not a normal regular child's bed but a catalogue bed, battleship gray they called Authentic Silvery Finish plus postage and handling with aerodynamic booster fins and snout, assembly required and the instructions practically Cyrillic and yes and whom do you suppose was expec- the little silver tinkle of the bell and she'd fly, fly to him, bending uncomfortably over the booster fins of the bed, cold iron fins, minist- it rang and rang."


This is a description of his son's bed. I don't get what " handling with aerodynamic booster fins and snout" mean. Is it tools for assembly?

It's good to see the selfie Profile pic back. I changed mine a few days ago but it hasn't propagated into the threads.

AgnesGRussell -- This was an interesting choice for a place to pose the question, almost like you already knew the answer. Will you be sticking around to follow the thread that ensues?

I thought people liked Orange Kitty.

Anything but the dog with fried eggs over it's eyes. :)

Of course, on Internet, nobody really knows.
