You have just told q man who

Yes, yes, it did. But that is not the
point.
Have you ever seen a cowboy flng
out his lasso and jerk a racing steer
down on its knees? That is exactly
the way your ill-timed, improbable
contradiction has roped and thrown
the eloquence of the speaker.
You are q conversational highway
woman! You rush down on the
vehicle of communication, crowded
with thoughts and feelings that ought
to reach their destination, the hearts
and heads Of the listeners, and you
literally hold It up with your weapon
Of contradiction.
It's true you do not realize your
linguistic gunplay. But a fool, or
child, or a blind person-cIassify
yourself as you like!-ought not to be
allowed dangerous weapons. That is
Just exactly why I am taking your

Belle, never accept a proposal in
spring unless you're dead sure it's the
man and not the season that's poppin
the question. Mind. I'm not sayin' that
he's thinkin' of any such thing, Belle,
but II Bill should ask the big ask when he
couldn't see nothin' but the light of the

Destiny had officiated when they named

Dennis would eat anything from his

Dennis was licking his chops over the
