I almost dragged this out when Zvi and Ilana were discussing their names 
in literature a while ago, but decided to save it.  Now I'm trying to 
wrap up some long-postponed posts with the old year.

Clifton is another fairly uncommon name; outside my family (where I was 
the third) I had never met anyone with the same name until this year.

When I started working for VeriFone, it was a tiny company just entering 
into its explosive growth phase.  When I signed on as the 25th employee, 
email names were the employees' first names. No last name or initials; 
we did not even have two "Mike"s or "Bill"s working for the company.  
(That rapidly changed; eventually they settled on email names of the 
form John_B3 to disambiguate those with identical first names and last 
initials.)  I used to claim that when VeriFone hired another Clifton, 
anywhere in the world, it would be a sign that the company was too big 
and it would be time for me to move on.

Earlier this year, they hired another Clifton, for the MIS helpdesk 
right here in the Mililani office.  Moreover, his last name was Weston, 
which sounds remarkably like Royston over the paging system and looks 
similar, to the casual glance.  We were continually getting each other's 
pages, p-mail, phone messages, faxes, and so forth.

He lasted several months, but was fired at the end of his probationary 
period (for unsatisfactory performance, I think.)  He had been helping 
maintain the electronic doorlock system, so a couple weeks after he was 
fired, he entered the building one night using an old password, and 
cleaned out a bunch of laptops, small PCs, monitors, and other 
marketable equipment.  He was caught within a few days while trying to 
fence the computers, still with "Property of VeriFone" stickers on them.  
After the police searched his place, I think they also filed some drug 
possession charges against him.  I think he's still in jail, pending 
trial.

I'm still not sure if this should mean anything in any broader sense; at 
any rate, I didn't quit yet.  I guess that means I feel it doesn't count.

You're obviously confused. The references is not to Michael but

Some of you don't believe in God. Others don't believe that
aliens from space exist. And, strangely enough, there are 
even those who don't believe in either.

Those are the people I want to reach out to. For you are,
_without a doubt_, wrong.

I have a mathematical proof which states that either God
must be in existence, or space aliens, or both.

Rather than bore you with endless lists of equations and
tables, I will sum it up using the main idea.

---
The probability of a world being (or having at some time
been) inhabited by living beings is rather low, given that
that world does exist. Now, assume (for the proof) that
(*Damn this cheap editor, scratch the end of that last line*)

The number of worlds in the universe (known and unknown) is
immense, and greatly outweighs the small probability of life
on other planets. The final probability of aliens comes out
to be 100% with an error of 10^(-112).

Only by an act of God could you get past those odds!
---

You may be saying to yourself right now, who cares anyway?
But the true value of this proof comes to us when we see
that if we find that aliens (we're talking intelligent
beings here, not algae on Mars) do not and have never
existed in the universe, then we prove the existence of God!

But that must be saved for another day.

Well, it's the holidays. The traffic in this group has died
down. A bit. So it's time for the Second Unit - the t.b benchwarmers,
lurkers, and newbies - to get into the ballgame......

Directly adjacent to the entrance to our office is a door that
is almost always closed and locked. Occasionally I'd see a woman -
any of several different women - unlock the door, step inside,
and close and lock the door behind her. All I knew was that, since
our bay extends back and to the left, whatever the hell was going on 
in there was going on in a pretty small room. A bathroom? Negative;
the Ladies Room is just across the hall.

Turns out it's a room where new mothers use their breast pumps. 

Sometimes I wish there was a peephole.

Simon was once a particularly effeminate Briton,
with too much money and a place somewhere in the
hierarchy of the nobility.  "Kind of like the
Scarlet Pimpernel's alter ego", he says.
  He recalled one particular evening when he met
the Casanova of legend.  Casanova had a particularly
big nose, and a weak chin, but his appeal with the
ladies was mostly because he treated them right.
Simon told me once, "He bothered to bring women to
orgasm, and so the word spread among the ladies
because that sure as hell wasn't something their
husbands were concerned with."
  Simon's own past self was gay, and though he
never got around to buggering Cas, the old man
did ask him for tips.
  Simon always giggles when he says that.

Last Thursday LORRAINE and I went Christmas shopping.  We went into
Salisbury's, where Lorraine spent about a quarter of an hour trying on
every pair of ear-rings in the shop.  There are hundreds of ear-rings
there -- long ones, wide ones, small ones, curved, straight, silver,
gold plate, any kind you can imagine.  You aren't allowed to try them on
because of health reasons, so she held each of them in turn up to one
ear-lobe in front of a mirror while I stared at the ceiling and the
floor and the walls and got bored. 

Eventually she settled on two pairs and she ouldn't choose between them. 
Both were pretty and cheap so, desperate to get out and seeing an
opportunity of escape, I said `Let's buy both, then'.  More trying-on in
front of a mirror, and then she said `No, I'll just get this one'.  And
she did. 

As soon as we were outside the shop, she said to me `You know, I really
preferred the other ones.'

eerily, Ken Johnson
