Our friend who grew up in the countryside says that what all girls
knew was you needed to stay away from any boy who was likely to
inherit a dairy farm. A dairy farm is a prison. God, consequently
or possibly just because he's got a touch of a priori about him,
might whisper, in the voice of James Mason, "Geary, you have sinned.
I sentence you to twenty years of night and morning milking...but
you'll get a discount on purgatory...we're running a special."
As for being sad about a dead cat...you hit me on the wrong morning.
There was another bloomin' puddle in my office this a.m.
Have you thought about re-naming your business Coolidge? You could
pick up a used slogan real cheap.
