Enjoy this little snippet from Herb Caen, "Out to Lunch," April 8, 1989.
Lunch is an invitation or a brushoff... "Hey, long time no see! Let's have lunch one of these days." Other guy, a touch too eagerly: "Sure, when?" First guy, moving away rapidly: "I'll give you a call - we'll set something up." As Prof. C. Northcote Parkinson once put it so wisely, so well: "Delay is the deadliest form of denial." When a Cal student asked, "What does that mean, exactly?" Parkinson replied, "I'll tell you later."

"Dog bit me."
Geo. tells a tale of the Mill Valley P.O. One carrier whose route was up in the tony hills would go on disability twice a year for dog bites. Unlike the huge Rottweilers and mastiffs in the flatlands, his potential vicious attackers were always toys. He'd put a dog biscuit in his sock, and his mark would come up to him and nip at his heels. Quickly he'd fall to the ground, grab the "wound" and toss the biscuit. He'd get weeks off work this way, tax free pay while on disability and $1000 or $2000 insurance settlements to augment his $36,000 a year salary. No moonlightinng for Bite Me!

'DESIRE UNBOUND'
AT THE MET
The catalog argues that the Surrealists' plays with dream imagery, assemblage and eroticism aim to reveal the hidden rule of desire behind the rational facade of mundane life in society.
