    / Like an expensive sports car, \
    | fine-tuned and well-built, Portia was |
    | sleek, shapely, and gorgeous, her red |
    | jumpsuit moulding her body, which was |
    | as warm as seatcovers in July, her hair |
    | as dark as new tires, her eyes flashing |
    | like bright hubcaps, and her lips as |
    | dewy as the beads of fresh rain on the |
    | hood; she was a woman driven -- fueled |
    | by a single accelerant -- and she |
    | needed a man, a man who wouldn't shift |
    | from his views, a man to steer her |
    | along the right road: a man like Alf |
    | Romeo. |

    / I was offered a job as a hoodlum and I \
    | turned it down cold. A thief is anybody |
    | who gets out and works for his living, |
    | like robbing a bank or breaking into a |
    | place and stealing stuff, or kidnapping |
    | somebody. He really gives some effort |
    | to it. A hoodlum is a pretty lousy sort |
    | of scum. He works for gangsters and |
    | bumps guys off when they have been put |
    | on the spot. Why, after I'd made my |
    | rep, some of the Chicago Syndicate |
    | wanted me to work for them as a hood -- |
    | you know, handling a machine gun. They |
    | offered me two hundred and fifty |
    | dollars a week and all the protection I |
    | needed. I was on the lam at the time |
    | and not able to work at my regular |
    | line. But I wouldn't consider it. "I'm |
    | a thief," I said. "I'm no lousy |
    | hoodlum." |

    / A reader reports that when the patient \
    | died, the attending doctor recorded the |
    | following on the patient's chart: |
    | "Patient failed to fulfill his wellness |
    | potential." |
    | |
    | Another doctor reports that in a recent |
    | issue of the *American Journal of |
    | Family Practice* fleas were called |
    | "hematophagous arthropod vectors." |
    | |
    | A reader reports that the Army calls |
    | them "vertically deployed anti- |
    | personnel devices." You probably call |
    | them bombs. |
    | |
    | At McClellan Air Force base in |
    | Sacramento, California, civilian |
    | mechanics were placed on "non-duty, |
    | non-pay status." That is, they were |
    | fired. |
    | |
    | After taking the trip of a lifetime, |
    | our reader sent his twelve rolls of |
    | film to Kodak for developing (or |
    | "processing," as Kodak likes to call |
    | it) only to receive the following |
    | notice: "We must report that during the |
    | handling of your twelve 35mm Kodachrome |
    | slide orders, the films were involved |
    | in an unusual laboratory experience." |
    | The use of the passive is a |
    | particularly nice touch, don't you |
    | think? Nobody did anything to the |
    | films; they just had a bad experience. |
    | Of course our reader can always go back |
    | to Tibet and take his pictures all over |
    | again, using the twelve replacement |
    | rolls Kodak so generously sent him. |

    / Keep in mind always the four constant \
    | Laws of Frisbee: |
    | |
    | (1) The most powerful force in the |
    | world is that of a disc |
    | |
    | straining to land under a car, just out |
    | of reach (this |
    | |
    | force is technically termed "car |
    | suck"). |
    | |
    | (2) Never precede any maneuver by a |
    | comment more predictive |
    | |
    | than "Watch this!" |
    | |
    | (3) The probability of a Frisbee |
    | hitting something is directly |
    | |
    | proportional to the cost of hitting it. |
    | For instance, a |
    | |
    | Frisbee will always head directly |
    | towards a policeman or |
    | |
    | a little old lady rather than the beat |
    | up Chevy. |
    | |
    | (4) Your best throw happens when no one |
    | is watching; when the |
    | |
    | cute girl you've been trying to impress |
    | is watching, the |
    | |
    | Frisbee will invariably bounce out of |
    | your hand or hit you |
    | |
    \ in the head and knock you silly. /

    | |
    | (3) Be as vague as possible; this |

    | |
    | (4) When in doubt, suggest that a |
    | subcommittee be appointed. |
