right
how about these again too
they arent shortest entire border line candidates
such as do occur at baarle & cooch behar
but they are shortest dry segment of a border candidates
had it not been for the inevitability of finding some vanishingly
small & sure winners right there or somewhere else in the world
just as they are being overrun by a flood or tide
which will of course trump all such candidacies
& end the contest in a multiple tie at zero
similarly they arent entire shortest landlubber border candidates
such as do occur at penon de velez de la gomera & gibraltar
but they also would have been shortest landlubber segment of a
border candidates had it not also been for the same inevitability
