This may help....it's in the July 22 issue of the New Yorker, this is just a humorous excerpt published elsewhere: observer.com Saturday Night Pollitt Quiz time! Try and guess if the following passages are from Katha Pollitt’s July 22 New Yorker essay "Learning to Drive," or from Saturday Night Live’s "My Lover" sketch starring Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch as an amorous academia couple: A) "My culinary skills deteriorated precipitously while I was living with my former lover, a fabulous cook who had once prepared dinner for the mayor of Bologna." B) "For three glorious days, I handed my lover plump strawberries and smoked duck meat." C) "What was my lover thinking, I wonder, when we cruised Route 1 … was he thinking what a drag it was to have a girlfriend who … never once woke him up with a blow job?" D) "One day I whisked my lover away to a room at the prestigious Wesley Arms Hotel, bringing along some of my favorite erotic Persian lithographs." E) "That was another accusation my lover flung at me the day he left: ‘You bought The Joy of Sex but you just put it in a drawer!’" F) "When I am careering up Riverside Drive I sometimes fantasize that I see my lover and his new girlfriend in the crosswalk … the car, taking on a life of its own, homes into them like a magnet smashing into a bar of iron." G) "Sometimes during the night I become scared, and cry out for my lover’s touch … and I become soothed by the hot breath of my lover’s whisper."
