DEAR MISS MANNERS -- I live in the inner city. When I tell
suburbanites and outer-city residents where I live, they often ask, ``Is
it safe there?''
Am I wrong to find this question insulting? Is there a correct
response?
GENTLE READER -- Miss Manners is always pleased to hear from a
neighbor. The reply she prefers is a gentle ``Don't worry -- I won't hurt
you.''

edzimmer (Eric D. Zimmerman):
Saturday, 25 April 1992: Only 13 more sunrises until
Junior Lab is over!
"I was in no mood to trifle,
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey-- what a haul I made that day!
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow....
The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit,
The worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out there was a reason,
Cows were out of season,
And one of the hunters wasn't insured...."
-Tom Lehrer,
"The Hunting Song," 1953

"I've always wanted to kill a few pro-lifers....."

"Getting married before 25...are you kidding? Break those freudian
attachments and wake up to the real world."

jcbourne (Julie Bourne):
Less than four weeks...
I don't know whether I should jump for joy or hide under my bed...
---
Tell me, tell me, where I'm going / I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me? / And then tell me again
My heart is breaking / My body's aching / And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me? / I just gotta know!
(Crystal ball...) / There are so many things I need to know
(Crystal ball...) / There are so many things I gotta know
(Crystal ball...) / Won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball...
(Styx)

Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

"When living your life like an arrow in flight
You must always accept that the end is in sight
Be thankful at least for the fact that you knew
You came to death, he did not come for you" M. Walkyier

nosaj (Jason M Sachs):
"If you remember, Lieutenant, this murder revolves around a religion
which you're not even aware of. Lieutenant Tragg, if you found a dead
man in a forest, you would be looking for footprints and suspects and
motives and weapons and so forth. Am I right?"
"I suppose."
"Well, the first thing *I* would do would be to question the trees."
