isn't that one a fit too forced: a bit too deliberately zany? that's why something like l'etramger is wonderful, bvecause it's so understated. that said, the beginning to catcher in the rye is still superb. espadrillle

Checked me source "The Weirdest Notes & Queries", and the runner up to that competition was: "What are you doing in my bath, playing with the rubber duck?", she screamed. "I'm from the ministry.", he replied. I'd love to know what happened next! Rod.
