Little does he know that upon further analysis, it's not quite the zinger we all originally thought it was. (Or is it?)
Indeed, I wish I had a mind like a sieve. A steel trap would retain everything. Everything I want or need to remember and everything I'd rather forget. Or should forget. A sieve, on the other hand, would let all the light and superfluous drop through the bottom and keep the weighty and necessary on top.
Or wait...should those second nominal adjectives be the other way around? Or would they be adjectival nouns? Does a sieve even separate things like grain from chaff, like a combine or pasta from water, like a colander? Or does it just sift, thereby changing the consistency of a substance?
I don't remember.

indeed. It seems like many gold mines used an intense filtering process to remove gold from the crud. I don't recommend their method though, as you can get mercury poison. :)
