I keep my eye on fashion trends. You learn the most amazing things. I won't admit you see any, that's for my personal safety, you understand.

"Well, doesn't that latest fashion just take the cake?" my beautiful brown-eyed wife asked, stressing the "that". I detected her voice was just a tad huffy , with maybe a pinch of sarcasm as we observed a rather curvy female edition of "College Plumber's Bum" race pass us in the crowded mall. A moment later, a slightly younger clone, a second edition, talking on a cell, also hurried past. "Everyone's in such a hurry" I thought to myself.
