Getting a cold and working just makes life so wonderful, doesn't it? Can you get us passes to the National Lingerie Show? You know, one with 1600 booths of lingerie and models? I think we'll need one for each of us.

All the pretty colors and shapes.....

Fabrics.
I really like fabrics.
They're the best invention of modern times. No really, the best.

Whee! I could get a badge that said Paul Gaugie, President, Stretchy Fabrics International Amalgamated. (Big Shot.) (Who Loves You. And You and You.)

I like to smile, and I would do that a lot. Walking around. "Feel this new fabric!" "You bet!"

I like new colors, too. Some of the new colors of lingerie are like mineral crystals, and fruit frappes, and ice from Neptune, and tropical fish, and shanties in Port Au Prince.

Another nice thing about lingerie, is that there is no race of women that don't look good in them. I mean, the range of skin colors women adopt just makes a darn good background. Races of men, that's a different story.

And the curves!
Like having a race car to paint.

Yah. I wonder what it takes to get a pass to one of those?

For science, you know. Well, and expanding my horizons. To go in my Renaissance Person resume.

HEY! You wanna go with us? We promise to be good.

"This is Paul, President of Amalgamated Squeezums."

I am so old I remember buying goods in May and June for fall delivery. I see it's still nuts. And of course clothes meant for Nov., Dec., and Jan. selling are now discounted in Sept.

On the plus side, if a person is going to Florida in December and needs swim wear, next summers merchandise is out for sale.

You get a cold every trip. There is a nasal spray out now that cures a cold in 36 hours. Over the counter. It's full of zinc.
