Hello Everybody:
The weather these days seems
to have a peculiar effect on certain
folks. One young man told me he
felt like throwing rotten tomatoes
in everyone's face he met. And
if they smiled one of those silly
lovesick grins at him he said
well, he said he'd like to knock 'em
cold with a brick. (He's a funny
guy, amt he?) :. The girl met
felt the exact opposite from the
boy in question. She said she felt
as if she were a fairy godmother,
floating on ethereal waves and
everyone she met she wanted to
touch with her wand, turning them
into something beautiful CHATS if
they weren't beautiful to begin
with.
