Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 21 There are two spectacular examples of this that I can add to this now somewhat tepid discussion, instances, that to me, at my advanced age, are somewhat more interesting than the normal patois of asking, rejection, etc. The first was when a lady friend of mine was involved in a trial and was so attracted to a fellow lawyer that the first time he came toward her, without his uttering so much as a "hello", she said, simply, "Yes. Where?" The second was when a lady reporter whose name I can't recall was covering a film festival in Cannes and having gotten on an elevator with a somewhat inebriated Richard Harris, found him making an advance at her with the words, "Are you married?" She replied, "Yes." Not to be daunted, he then said, "Well, then, are you a fanatic about it?" KEEP TRYING, GUYS. fbr
