I got the one about blood too! It's in my trashcan now. Although I think the housekeeper may have taken it out to practice her English.

Wait a second. That may not be such a great idea, come to think of it.

I grabbed the first thing I could find (a towel) and opened the door, but the towel slipped while the Displaced Dog and I had a little discussion about whether or not he could go out on the front porch and eat the nice woman in the dress.

After I recovered the towel, she gave me a pamphlet on blood. I told her I work in healthcare, but I thanked her for her interest in my immortal soul. She was very nice and not particularly pushy. I took the pamphlet, but I never got around to reading it. I think it got thrown away.

The Displaced Dog and the Puppy (just turned three! can you believe it?) didn't get to eat the Jehovah's Witnesses.
See now, if the JW in question had been Prince, this story could have been a really good story.

She was giving me instructions about the automatic watering system. It's sort of complicated. Her explaining it saved me an hour and a half of reading through the manual and trying to figure out which "zones" were where on the cryptic pirate map.

JW lady did not disrobe. Thank god.

Mine was hot in a wholesome sort of way. In her twenties, attractive, demure dark flowery dress that went past her knees, sensible shoes that had a bit of a heel, pearls, light makeup. She had a chaparone, though, so the corrupt-the-Jehovah's-Witness-with-hot-lesbian-sex scenario just wasn't in the cards. Sorry.

That could have been my lady. Her chaperone appeared to be about 3 years old, though.

my last home had a JW family living at the end of the block. they would have meetings where bunches of them came over, I think carrying a red book. I never did get to know them. it's not like you can invite them over for drinks.

Invest in a tailor to make the sleeves the correct length on your arms and then wear as barrel cuffs (unless you want to roll up to your elbows, if the shirt and the situation allow). For a "french cuff look," wear a shirt with French cuffs.

JWs can drink, as long as it's not a birthday party or something. We had a JW secretary at my old firm; she was actually fun to have a drink with at all-firm events.

Pink can suck it. I was given a nice blue Pink shirt as a gift. But, because they originally catered to foppish brits without neck muscles, the sleeves were way to long for the neck size. Their suggestion, when I asked for one with appropriately lengthed sleeves, was for me to take it to a tailor to have them shortened.

Sure. On top of the $140 they ask for a shirt, I'm supposed to shell out another $30 to have the sleeves shortened 1 inch? Thanks. Refund please.

Snakes belong on film, not on the floor
 
I would have been hospitalized if this had happened when I saw the movie:
Quote:

New Samuel L Jackson film Snakes On A Plane became terrifyingly real for Arizona cinema-goers when pranksters released two live rattlesnakes into the theatre, causing widespread panic. The two young venomous diamondback rattlers were released during a screening in Phoenix on Friday. Local news reports say the snakes caused chaos among the audience and snake wranglers were called in to collect them. No one was injured during the incident and the culprits have not been caught. Officials believe the snakes were smuggled into the theatre in backpacks. According to Phoenix Herpetological Society spokesman Daniel Marchand, "All they've got to do is startle this thing. It's dark. They can't see you that well. If it's scared - boom - it strikes!" The snakes were eventually captured and released into the Arizona desert.
My screening was thankfully snake free (except on the screen), and I missed a good third of the movie because my eyes were squeezed shut. I am told by my movie watching companions that I kick a lot. I also refused to go closer than four feet from any of the enclosures at the zoo.

All in all, it was a positive experience.

Really? My ex- bought some of their shirts and I thought they tailored the sleeve-length gratis (he was between sizes). Must not have been paying close enough attention. ...But why couldn't you get the neck and sleeve length sized separately? That's typical for men's shirts, no?

I don't wear Zegna any more, for I am but a simple country tax lawyer.

Pegging is what you do to hubby with a strap-on. NTTAWWT.

As for your shirt, I really think it would be good practice for you to make that call yourself and then not seek affirmation for it.

The Not Bob phone just rang -- apparently, I have to depose Fugee next week.
 
And while I am on my way there, I will need something to read. Any suggestions? I'm not interested in any non-fiction that has anything to do with any events after 1980. With respect to fiction, my taste is pretty eclectic, though I am not usually a fan of stuff that is too high-fallutin. In other words, no Umberto Eco, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon, or Mickey Spillane.
