Neighb Asso
At the neighborhood association meeting to plan
the July 4th Picnic, Mackey asks how to vanish
without a trace.
Rosa Tessler, stuck with President this year, answers
“You’re not the type. Just being here shows civic
responsibility...or something.”
“Well, last year I missed, and got stuck with the Beanbag
Toss, and the teens use that for...well, mix marijuana
with lust.”
“Just why we need somebody like you in there policing!”
Bink Hoxley picked up on the “vanishing” theme.
“Impossible in this day and age! Can’t vanish. No way!
We’ll get yuh anyplace.”
Millie Jaegers inquired “Just how old is this Scotch?”--
but that was later at the Thoreau Club meeting.
(Before we get accused of being literary, Thoreau as
in Th-ROW drinks back!)
Old Man Carruthers cracked “Nothing on the label, so at
least a month.”
After everybody got cheaply mellow, Mackey’s question
re disappearing was again taken up. More informally,
if that’s possible.
“Knock off the Dollar Store deodorant, and you gotta
head start!”--from Cliff N. T. Baumer, who could use some.
