Everytime I see Clinton bite his lip, I wish he would eat it. M

Wrong question! I am neither to be eaten, nor to be spat out. That fate is reserved for other people -- the bad guys. The purple people. Do you remember that song -- or was it a line of toys? -- called "The Purple People Eaters"? No, you are probably too young. Well, the reason I remember it is because of an unfortunate elderly salesclerk I saw in a 5-and-10. She was such a respectable-looking lady, with a neatly frizzed gray perm and granny glasses (before this was fashionable), and the store management had suited her out in this perfectly ridiculous purple costume, and she was so obviously totally embarrassed and humiliated! The sight has stuck in my memory ever since, probably because it made me so angry. To me, that salesclerk was the very symbol of wage slavery, of how some people have to sell their souls, or their dignity, at the very least, for the sake of a buck. (What I can't remember is whether the purples ate people, or whether people ate the purples.} Talk about free association! <g>

><>...Just browsing and this caught my eye...><> And it reminded me of a true story...from the archives of court-room dramas. It goes like this: A witness was testifying (for the defense) to the a fight he had seen outside a bar early one morning. He swore up and down that he had seen the perp. bite off the ear of the plaintiff. The defense attorney just knew this couldn't be because of the darkness,the hovering crowd, and such close contact between the victim and the perp. So he pressed on with line of questioning hoping to trip the guy up. He was beginning to make some headway until he asked...:"OK Mr. Johnson, you say it was dark, you say the crowd closed in on them, and you also say they were so close in their grasp of each other, that no one could even pry them apart....so now tell me "How do you know Mr. McGillicutty bit the ear of Mr. Mooney?" The witness cleared his throat and said.."Because I saw him spit it out...and it landed on my shoe". A lawyers creed...in court room preparation! Never ask a question when you do not aready know the answer . Have a good day Shalom...><>
