Thanks, everybody - I’m here until April. Tip your waitress, it takes a lot of money to keep her hair that color.

I should have acknowledged first that the post was inspired partly by a book called Our Organization, but I couldn’t remember the title and I still can’t remember the author’s name.

And thanks of course to Eve, whose eye for the absurd keeps us all amused, alert and a little alarmed.

Also thanks to all for declining to notice that I inserted an ‘s’ in “Quakertown” in the very first damned line of the post.

Brian O’Connell wrote Our Organization.

I believe they meet in the pit.
