obviously cause I don't have an aretha!

Sadly, Rose, I now believe this to be true. I'm understanding gender issues a lot more clearly now. On the other hand, I've heard you have a lot we don't have. I hope to learn more about those one of these days. I'm sure there is some kind of compensation there, somewhere.

JC :-)

Shhh- thank you for translating that for me--- I sat here trying to figure out what the heck a fith thamich was for a long time last night.... this is a true story. I started saying it aloud.

"What are you doing?" asked my husband.

"I can't figure this out," I said. "What's a fith samich?"

"I dunno. Is it Jewish?"

"No, I think it's Scotch-- he's talking about haddock."

"Does he drink? Is it a fifth of something? A fifth of glenfiddich?"

"I don't think so-- wait, I know, it might be her stomach... thamich- if you use a long a sound-- yeah- ok-he wanted to buy her a fifth stomach!"

"Why? Weren't four enough?"

"I guess she had trouble digesting haddock."

"Well, who wouldn't."

I can't believe I never thought of fish. But then, I never have liked fish sandwiches.

Please keep this to yourself though, as JC and polvo will probably use my lapse of discernment as proof of urethral superiority.
