By the way, Tommy, I haven't spoken with David Moriarty recently, although I'm not sure why, so I'd like to ask you if you know if he's finished the report he promised to publish on the architectural creation of Merion East which might be entitled something like "The Missing Piece of the Puzzle."
Also, you should know, and may want to pass on to Professor Moriarty, particularly as to what it may indicate about when and how often one Hugh I. Wilson may've traveled to Europe----and that is that that otherworldly research ferret, Wayne Q. Morrison, has apparently uncovered the fact that the Wilsons' insurance business primarily dealt with maritime/shipping insurance. So to think that High's 1912 trip to GB at the age of 32 may've been his first is looking somewhat more preposterous than it already did.
"Ever notice how when a woman uses the word "fine" she means to emphasize exactly the opposite?"
No, MikeyC, I can't say I've ever noticed that but I admit I've always been somewhat wet behind the ears when it comes to those confusingly contrary creatures. Did you know that the etymological root of woman is apparently a truncated version of 'Woe Man"? This "eating the apple" version is just a crock and a blatant attempt to shift cause and effect to a more palitable and cute story. However, MikeyC, you should know that I'm a huge advocate for greater women's rights and equalities of ever manner and kind. I am, I guess, because I can't seem to get the liberal New Yorkerese out of me. But I should confess my deepest motivations that my huge women's rights and equality advocacy, hopefully culmintating in a women becoming the president of the United States as well as running my club, is so they too can screw up at the very highest levels giving us greater license to jump all over them. The only remaining unrealized regret I have about President Bush (The Little Shrub) is that he isn't, in fact, a woman!
