hello folks i went and saw the wonderful david berman (he of silver jews fame) give a poetry reading tonight in athens from his new book (called "actual air" if you don't have it. get it) and it was really terrific. "and i wonder if she loves me only as a favor to god" that line is gonna stick with me for a couple of days. that was in one of his new poems. anyway, he told a joke....well, a couple, but here's the funny one the joke is set in 1974 at the white house with richard nixon taking a shit. so he's sitting there grabbing both sides of the bowl and straining when finally something pops out. he goes about the usual routine of wiping up and all, but when he looks at the toilet paper he notices that his shit has glitter all over it. "what the fuck?" he thinks....so he wipes again and looks at it again and still he's got glitter covered shit. so he's sitting there wondering what the hell is going on...then he remembers... david bowie had eaten his asshole the night before. and there was another one. celine dion walks into a bar and the bartender says.... "hey, celine. why the long face?" -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
