Why·ma·ra·ners have got to be the strangest looking dogs I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t have one unless I am going to Bolivia this Tuesday and hope I find a nice restaurant. If on the menu they have a beach without a lot of people is what we’re lookin for. Miles and miles of cool, sandy pink parasols always remind me of musicals and add a bit of funk to my step. ---

It’s kinda hard to be totally off-track. Wasn’t it Leo Tolstoy and his brother who had this club that the only way one could join was if they could stand in one place (corner, IIRC) for 30 minutes and NOT THINK about a white elephant? If not, it had to be somebody else. ---
