A Little Skit

Part of the following actually happened, but the rest is my fantasy:

Yoga Teacher to 4:30 class: "Go ahead and inter-race your, I mean, interlace your fingers."

(pause)

"Um, not that there's anything wrong with that."

You know how in movies from the 30s and 40s the Asian characters mix their L's and R's? Not entirely true, but sometimes you have to wonder:

My last tour here in Japan (2000) I dated one of the local girls. One afternoon I returned from a week-long flight. Her first words when I called her after my postflight were, "How was your fright?", to which, smartass I am, I replied, "Very flightening". THAT put me in the doghouse for a weekend...

Based upon your suggestion, I clicked the title of this Little Skit and was taken to a magical place: edsitement.neh.gov.

Whoa...all the soft stuff (poetry, history, literature, philosophy, political theory) is there for a lifetime of edification and enjoyment. Now if I find a similar site for maths, science and other hard stuff, I can become my own intellectual hero.

Oh, for another seventy years.

Ooops.

That comment belongs in "Rite of Spring."

What a maroon.
