I can't count the times I've returned a client's call with a message saying, "Hi, this is Rick, getting back to you about ____. It's uh, uh . . . aw hell, I don't know what day it is, but its 11:30 in the morning. . ." Almost everyday is Saturday for me, and I like it like that. Ooo Cosmo . . .this month's covergirl is Heidi Klum from Victoria's Secret . . .ooo . . .I think they put them at the checkout to sedate guys...ooo . . . It works.

Oh, that reminds me of a lovely innocuous old Britisher joke. Three old gents in tweeds are motoring through the countryside. One: "I say - isn't this Wembley?" Two: "No old boy ... it's THURSDAY." Three: "Right-o - so am I! Let's find a pub!"

Now let's see if you can stand in a grocery line. Sometimes deciding which line to get in can be the tough part ... .. Is your favorite checkout clerk, the friendly one, on duty? .. Will the Express line with 5 people in it really be quicker .. than the Heaping Grocery Cart lines? .. Which customers in line are going to pull out 32 coupons at .. the last minute, and then quibble over prices? .. How many times will the checkout clerk have to call Produce for .. a price check on the cart full of strange-looking vegetables? My quickie analysis never seems to work out very well.

Have you noticed, in the check out line, that "Cosmo" is like American Cleavage Magazine? How are you sposed to not look, or look, at that? AND the rest of the stuff? Round and nekkid, those girls are. Too "thrust", for comfort. Kind of scary. Y'know... when I'm standing in line at our small town grocery store, I sometimes look at the Cosmo magazines and think, "I wonder who is buying these?" Then I turn around and do a little scan of the various women in the store... Nope, definitely not too many Cosmo Girls around the store... Nobody wearing a ton of make up, or jewelry, sporting high fashion clothes, or super high cheekbones, or breast implants... Nope... nobody like that in sight... Just a bunch of us in jeans and t-shirts or plaid Croc shorts, pushing carts with babies, or sacks of potatoes... OK... so then that begs the question... If we aren't buying Cosmo for the fashion or hair-do makeover stuff, then why are we buying them??.. Must be for all of the intriguing articles like... HOW TO DRIVE YOUR MAN UTTERLY MAD* IN BED...* or LOVEMAKING SECRETS OF THE GEISHA* GIRLS* or FIVE ALL NEW HOT SPOTS THAT WILL DRIVE YOUR MAN TOTALLY CRAZY or DON'T LET THE Y2K BUG* RUIN YOUR SEX LIFE* Yep, I figure that that's what all of the local women in town are really buying these Cosmo magazines for... We want to drive our men MAD or maybe even TOTALLY CRAZY ...after all... isn't that what we all want... a totally crazy madman?
