We must be V E R Y careful around these Eggheads, sweet McManus (obviously).
They have delicate sensibilities, if not quite as much sense as us Bad
Floaters (sometimes misnamed "pond scum").
I gotcha topped on the job scene, tho, fo' sho': whilst working my way thru
college, I filed credit checks on chicken-sexers, amongst other fascinating
workers. They made good money; the occupation must've required unusually
keen eyesight. [a credit file info-bit about a nother even better-paid man
in my hometown: Lear, well known inventor of the Lear Jet, named his
daughter Crystal Chanda.]
joodles frum---let me check where I am rite now---ah yes, norfolk va usa
re your ps: I wouldn't wanna dig too deep for Wot Kind of Anthology (has he
mentioned illustrations yet?) it is that Dr. H proposes for just 5 of us---a
tactic sure to yield high degrees of panic and competition amongst us lovely
gentle folk. <sigh>
