[...] the statuesque blondes. Many reporters have riffed for both comedic and dramatic effect on newsroom clichés. Lippman has an interior monologue in one of her books [...]

“Union Vice-President Dies In Shotgun Slaying”, “Man Held In Bludgeoning Of Local Union Grievance Committee Chairman”. That doesn’t look good at all, not while we are awaiting a federal bankruptcy judge’s ruling to cancel our contract.

Landscape Architect fought hard with gun wielding delusional client in the pink bathrobe? Does that work? I guess it all depends on how the public conjures an image of a landscape architect? Help me out here, I’m too close to the calling.

>(back when they cut meat in supermarkets!)

reminds me of the time my younger brother had a part-time job helping out at the local market in a small town in southwestern Indiana back in the Sixties.

He wrapped up a… well, let’s just call it an artificial phallus of remarkable, although not humanly impossible, length, girth and pinkness… on one of those foam-plastic meat trays, stuck the shrink wrap around it and a price sticker on top, then set the whole package out in the cooler among the hamburger and the stew meat.

I forget exactly what the price was per pound, it got snapped up pretty quickly though.

There’s no way “Professor” will ever make it as a headline — at least, not as a vic. As a perp, yes: PROFESSOR SLAYS GERMAN TOURISTS.

So the best I can hope for is my role as family man: FATHER OF THREE BLUDGEONED TO DEATH.

Nancy, your voice sounds fine. I hate the sound of my voice too when I hear a recording of it. I think most people do.

I wonder why it is that A) my voice sounds different in my head than from a recording, but B) when I do an impersonation of someone, others can think that I nail it. To me, an impersonation should suffer from the same auditory perception skewing.

Hmmm. Now I must get back to crunching numbers.
