I must tell this story though it's totally off any topic. In 1963 one
of my fellow students in the Theater Department was a young lady named
Myrna who became involved with and engaged to a young man named Chuck.
Myrna was Jewish, Chuck was not. Her family was upset. They insisted
that Chuck have himself circumcised. So Chuck, in the spirit of True
Love(TM) did. At age 23, he went into a local hospital--for by that age
it is real surgery--and had the job done. Myrna would come to directing
class chortling "I went to see Chuck and he broke all his stitches,
hahahahaha." Then she broke the engagement.
We figured a jury of Chuck's peers--12 circumcised men--would acquit him
of any crime up to and including murder.
Somehow the name Thomas Hardy floats into this meditation on history,
though I'm not sure why.
