“To err is human, but it feels divine.” –Mae West

I have told my husband to stand on his own head in future.Is this wise?
No, get him to stand on his own feet. Upright posture is usual in the UK
He has stood on my nail
Buy a few more.
He has stood me up.
That’s the way he likes it?
Now he rests on his laurels daily.
Go out and buy a bay tree.
He stood on my thumb.
Don’t keep leaving it on the floor.
He stood on my hat.
Oh, for heaven’s sake, buy some armchairs.
He lies on the sofa.
Will he tell the truth on the table?
I used to teach truth tables.
Now teach humans about truth.
I can’t stand logic.
Come on, be reasonable.
I can’t lie in bed anymore.
Why would you lie in bed? Is it easier than when vertical?
Even the cat walks all over me.
Fasten loofahs to his feet.
I can’t stand up for myself
Stand up for those who love you.
Those what who love me?
Ducks.As the Lord loves them.
I can’t sleep for laughing.
Don’t get hysteria.
I can’t walk all over anyone now.
Just walk on the top side of them.
I can’t keep a man.
Let him keep you.
I believe in love.
So did we all.

Mary was going out for a meal with some former colleagues who had taught under functioning analysis and triquacking theory.She stood in her bedroom, surrounded by piles of clothes, wondering how hot the restaurant might be and how cold and frosty the air in the road by the bus stop.
I think I’ll phone Pete she told herself.
Pete answered on the first ring.After so many years, she still recognised his semi- South African accent and pleasing voice
Hello,it’s Mary Dirac-Brown hers, she said shyly.
Hello Mary Dirac-Brown, he responded instantly
Why, he sounds like the Amazon website, she thought to herself.That figures!
Hello Pete, I was wondering if you could give me a lift to the restaurant tonight
You don’t need a lift, it’s on the ground floor, he informed her quietly and sensitively
I mean in your car.I can’t drive now.
Why not?
Actually, I never took the Test because I always drove very fast
Why didn’t you use the brakes? he teased her.I reckon you might have passed.
I stopped the car and vowed never to drive again but now it is a problem with Stan dead etc
Well, what time do you suggest? Shall I come earlier?
Why does he say that ,she pondered
No, it will take ages to put all my clothes away.I can’t make up my mind what to wear.
Why not just copy Hilary Clinton?
I must not buy any more clothes.Shall I dress smartly? Or smart casual or unsmart?
I know, said Pete.Shut your eyes and pick up 3 things off the bed and then wear those.
Mary closed her eyes.When she opened them she had a pair of Arran legwarmers, a green silk shirt and a black pleated silk skirt.
I suppose if I wear my new long camel coat, the leg warmers will be hidden, she whispered.She took a bottle of dandruff shampoo and washed her light gold locks and then waxed her bikini line by mistake.
My goodness, why and how did I ever think of doing that, she pondered ruefully?And in the winter who wears a bikini?
Dressed in her pure silk outfit, the legwarmers hidden under thigh high red leather boots, she created a buzz in the restaurant as she climbed in through the window followed by Pete in his yellow wool suit and green tie.
Why did you come in via the window, asked Tom McDonne, the former head of her maths department.
We didn’t see any doors, she cried gaily.And Mossad wants more women agents so I thought MI5 might like to see me.
Who is this Mossad, Tom asked?
It’s the Israeli intelligence service.You must have heard of them.
But they don’t want old people! Tom told her ignorantly
That’s why we came through the window, so if any spies are here they will see how agile I am still.And I still know what uncountable infinity is.Aleph, aleph.
Tom led them to a long table.
Wow, it’s a log table Mary screamed.I’ve not seen one for years.
Well, with computers and such like we don’t really need them anymore, Tom revealed.
Are they real logs, she queried.
No, they are vinyl, the waiter admitted furtively.Easier to wash
Mother never washed my log tables, Mary told the men impudently.
Let’s order some food, Tom said, as they all sat down
I fancy the Polish Hussar Roast, he admitted.
What has a Polish Hussar ever done to you, Mary asked?
Nothing yet but I live in hope
And so do all of us.
To be continued

Annie Laughton, neighbor of Mary Brown, widow of Stan , the almost world famous logician, came out of her oak-panelled front door deliberating over whether her teal color 7/8 length wool coat was the best one for her to wear in the frosty smog covering Knittingham and the River Quaint.[Now breathe]
She decided a full-length raspberry maxi coat would be wiser however she did not take her own advice but wandered next door, to see what Mary was doing.
Mary was reading some book reviews.
There is a new type of illness, she told Anne.
Almost flu.almost depression, almost measles……almost happy.

Surely you either have measles or not, Annie mumbled.
Not so, Mary answered.That is Aristotelian logic; nowadays we use fuzzy logic.It’s a degree of indefiniteness or its opposite……….get it?
This is why Trump got elected, Annie cried.
We want it simpler.apart from Leonard Cohen who wanted it darker and so it has been for him.
Well, fuzzy logic is not so hard, Mary whispered.
Any logic is hard, Annie replied. Prehistoric man had no logic and look at us now.Are we happier?Or we wiser?
You seem a bit moody, Mary told her.By the way, I love your new coat.Where did you get it from?
I stole it from the cloakroom at the Cricket Club, Annie teased her
Are you not worried the owner will see you? said Mary anxiously.
No, it was in Newcastle under Lyme! Annie cried
But it is still both a crime and a sin.Mary retorted logically
Actually, I got it from Lands End, Annie said triumphantly.They had a big sale on.Because it was a warm autumn.It was only £6,788.09.
My, that’s cheap, said Mary.Once you could buy a house for that much.
My pension is £189 a week so how long will it take me to pay off the credit card? Annie wondered.
If we ignore interest and assume you pay £100 a week it will be 16788/100 which is about 168 weeks or 3 years.Can you live on £89 a week for 3 years?
No, I knew I should have stolen a new coat but I lost my nerve.
I am still wearing my old clothes, Mary boasted.
Yes, I can see all the moth holes, Annie screamed humorously.Your darning is pathetic
I know, Mary said.Stan was good at darning.
Well, he can’t do it now, Annie informed her logically.Well. he might darn God’s tablecloth but not your skirts and jumpers.
God’s tablecloth is perfect, said Mary.It lasts for eternity unlike our clothes
Are we going out?It looks so cold.Why don’t we stay in and teach Emile to thread a needle?Annie pondered
Do you believe that a cat could ever learn that? Mary cried.
O ye of little faith, cried Annie.With God all things are possible.
Your argument has only one flaw, Mary cried.We are not God.
And so say all of us
No nonstick pan shall grace my hob again
For, since my lover died, I have burned six
And, despairing of the love of any man,
I shall cook imagined meals on candle wicks.
In short, I tell you I shall eat no food.
I’ll live on seeds of grass and flowers sweet.
My friends think my starvation’s rather crude
They counsel me to eat grass snakes and newts.
I burned these pans because I am bereaved.
My mind was on my husband’s late, lost face
If I had been much faster to retrieve,
I should have saved the pans and not replaced
So shall I take my cooker at the dump,
And live on dandelions, which nothing trump?
Oh,Alfred,my beloved,do not go
Do not leave, but warmth to me bestow,
Lie beside me in my bed all night
Succour me when stormy dreams affright.
Oh,Alfred,-tis your eyes that turn me on
The green and golden light is never gone.
Affection constant, touch and feeling shared.
I am not embarrassed when you stare.
For you , the gallant male, have ever seen
My naked form well lit by Jove’s sunbeams
And if I wear a gown of wincyette
You love it ,,as it’s made for paws of cat.
Alfred ,we can’t marry yet I fear.
Cats can’t read the Book of Common Prayer.
My doctor was n’t highly astute
He downsized to a house in Beirut
He said he was deaf
But nevertheless
A chauffeur was hard to recruit.
My dentist came from Judea last year
But we call it the West Bank down here
But North,East or South
To tell you the truth
The politics are projections of fear.
The chiropodist came here from Ceylon
She came with false eyebrows glued on
For her thyroid was low
And one way it shows
Is the hair we once had is now gone.
So thyroid deprivation’s effects
Mean you don’t need a Brazilian wax
For our hairs are so weak
They fall off with no tweak
But we will not let them labelled as lax.
Now women are not shaved to give birth
So why treat this terrain with a curse?
A man who’s mature
Will not do a detour
If a few curls protect his wife’s pur
I was wondering if I should roast a turkey on Xmas day.And was my oven big enough to take one?
So I stole a live one to check It did fit in the oven but after only three days it died.
Now what am supposed to do?
Her expression made the tinfoil crumple all alone
Her lies were enough to pleat steel.
Her tone was enough to cut a hard-boiled man in half with no effort
Her gaze combined lust and seductiveness with a Nero-like cruelty dampened only by the rain hitting her bare shoulders
Her washing up was so noisy she gave the mice migraine.
She only washed her bra once a year as the odour tempted men even as her glare terrified them in that attractive manner known only to boa constrictors
Her singing attracted fifty tom cats to the backdoor.
Her anger was so powerful she used it to run the electricity for the whole town.
Her pastry was so delicious nobody tasted the cyanide.
The shops are full of summer clothes
But Stan’s not warm enough for those.
Mary likes to look around
But see how old Stan frowns.
So Mary says,I’ll go online
I’m sure I’ll find some fully lined
Made of wool and acrylic…
Them you can make your pick.
Thank you,Mary,you are kind
despite that brilliant,anxious mind.
I am the best dressed man in town
And soon I’ll have my gown.
Would you like cafe au lait?
I have my pension,I shall pay.
Very nice,dear Mary said…
I’d like a piece of bread.
Won’t you have a slice of cake?
I know it’s not quite what I make.
No,just plain bread,sweet Mary said
She then turned very red.
Mary,you look very hot
Is it healthy in this spot.
The central heating is too high.
She gave a weary sigh.
They drank their coffee and made jokes
About old folk who never spoke…
They bought some fresh fish for Emile..
They alway shop with zeal.
..
When they got home.Stan dialled Dave
Who told him he was very brave
and not to stand near a bus door.
Or he’d fall on the floor.
.
Oh,how I’d like to lie down there
With my mistress Annie fair.
but Mary is at home today
So i’ll just have to pray.
If you’re in pain and can’t have sex,
They say that prayer is second best
Morphine is so hard to get…
and it makes me feel sick.
So tomorrow Mary works
Stan and Annie have their perks
Dave calls round to bath the cat…
How obscene is that?
If you would like your cat washed
Or if your shopping has got squashed
Just dial 99999
The service is divine.

Mary woke up on Tuesday feeling dazed.She had been dreaming of Arnold,her student boyfriend.so sweet and shy.
I wonder where he is now, she thought.Then she recalled he was in fact a world famous cancer researcher.She hoped he had found a shy sweet partner>
Emile was yowling on the landing despite the large bowl of Superior Cat Food he was standing next to by the bookshelf
I believe that people and animals like not just to eat,but to be fed,Mary thought.Stan used to make the dinner but he always wanted her to serve.Emile would eat his food after she stroked him.But who would stroke, Mary?This was a hard and topical question because Mary had stopped eating.However, as she was quite large, she could live for a few weeks on water only.So she mused
Mary put on a pair of purple trousers and a lomg lavender coloured top.She gazed into the mirror wondering why 3 hairdressers had failed to help her style her fair hair.
Now,she recalled Arnold was a Russian Jew by inheritance though he had lived in the USA all his life until taking up research into cancer at the ancient university Mary attended.If she had married Arnold she could have pretended to be religious,converted and then worn a wig.
Annie came running upstairs.
Whatever are you doing,she yelled.It’s 11 oclock! Her make up was melting despite being Max Doctor’s All Day Creme Mousse
I was wondering if I could find a Jewish man who would marry me, purely legally, just so I could wear a wig.
What a load of tripe,Annie retorted.No wonder you’ve had no breakfast.If the man was religious he could not marry a lapsed Christian. Or an agnostic.
If you want a wig just go online.
You have no imagination,Mary answered,I spend half my time wondering what would happen if I did A,B or C.And what I might wear
And then you do D,Annie joked merrily.Or X.
Where are you going in purple trousers,she continued.You should not wear them at your age.
Do purple trousers have a meaning,asked Mary.I got them in Windsmoor’s sale for £12.
I refrained from buying a jersey jumpsuit as it looked like a burkini and I am a bit nervous now of racists coming into the open.
Very sensible ,Annie told her.I bet the French are jealous because Muslim women and certain Jewish women don’t get skin cancer nearly as often as Christian or agnostic English women.Should we convert?
I don’t think they would like it if it were only to save ourselves from cancer,Mary mused.
True,said Annie,dully

Mary felt hot so they went into the kitchen and made some tea.Annie was wearing snakeskin pyjamas and black patent shoes.
Do you sleep in those pyjamas,Mary asked?
Oh,no.These are day pyjamas or leisure suits ,Annie smiled.They are comfy.You can get them in the market for £2.
Mary heard a strange noise.Stan ,her late spouse ,appeared in the kitchen carrying a big leather bag,
Hello,he grinned.I’ve just come to say I have bought a detached house in Ealing.
But you are dead,Mary whispered thoughtlessly
Yes,I am a ghost but I have bought the house via Dave.I paid cash.
Why Ealing,Mary asked suspiciously
I like that song,Neasden and it’s quite near on the North Circular.And Ealing is healing!
So that’s where you’ve been while I have been grieving,Mary said.On the North Circular Road enjoying Willie Rushton’s songs as you drive
And besides, I want to re-marry and get a wig.
Well,you can get the wig,Stan told her handing her £4,000 in cash from his pocket.But don’t get married until I am in heaven
When will that be,the ladies asked.
Dunno,he cried.It’s such fun in Purgatory where the ladies are naughty but not actually evil.
And so say all the men.Ah,men



The virgin Mary assumed it was heaven.
Jesus had no socks.
St Paul had a fit on the road to Erasmus.
St Peter portrayed Christ thrice.
St Peter tried to hawk the water.
St John had a Word to offer.
The Jews are God’s people because they saw the Burning Bush before we did.I only felt it.
Prophets were turned into profits by Economists.
The Pope is advised by a neon Arc Angel.
Jesus had twelve friends on Facebook.The pages were called the Epistles.
St Paul was so prolific he sent letters whenever he fancied it.That was before privatisation of the Toil Mail,of course.
The Romans were good at conkers and watching lions eat people.

History is what we can find on old documents and barcodes.
God wanted his son to die.It was pre-Oedipus.They could not both louvre the same lady
And she said,may your thrill begin on earth as it does in heaven

My friend told me if I wanted to get married again I should not tell the men I meet I was a mathematician.So I’ll have to stop saying :I am 5/8 Irish and 1/3 Anglo-Saxon and 1/48 Viking.
That doesn’t add up to one.
I never said I was an integer!
If you give too much detail it puts them off.
How about :I am 38-28-40?
Is that your Zip code?
No, it’s my vital statistics.
I should wait till you know them better.
When will that be?
After you get the diamond ring.And stop using numbers so much use words. Hang on:Hello, this is 07576339417.Hi.
That’s a funny phone number.
It was the police.
How come they have your number?
I think it’s because I told them you wanted to re-marry
Why tell the police, it’s not a crime.
I thought they might give you a job.
Why do I want a job?
To stop you getting married again.
But there are men in the police station.
You can’t marry them
Why not?
They are only coppers!

1.A Christian,a Jew And a Muslim were walking through the Mall looking for a Coffee Shop.
They found a new one with lots of seats so they went inside and sat down.The Jew went over to the counter and asked,do you serve Cappuccinos?
The waitress answered,not usually, but in your case I’ll make an exception.
And my two friends?
Are they Cappuccinos as well?
Well, they are people of the Book like me.
I’m sorry .I meant to give it back.Are you going to fine me?
No, give us free coffee and we’ll say no more.
2.You know all those Coffee Shops staffed by foreigners?
Yeah.
The Government is going to build 7 meter high walls around them.
So America is going metric at last!
3.How can you tell I am a foreigner?
I’ll just shout.Wanna see a foreigner!
4.Why do we fear Arabs?
Because they invented al-gebra.
5.Why is the Pope a man?
We just have to take his word for it.
6.My husband asked me,what is post-modernism?
I replied,you didn’t need to marry me just to find that out
7.My wife asked,why do my rock buns fly away?
I said, because I am trying to kill that spider on the ceiling.
8.My son asked me to lend him my car for a week.
I said,it’s alright son, you can neck here at home.
What about my Oedipal conflicts?
Use PayPal instead.
9.My daughter has got big blue eyes.
Where did she get those from?
Her grandmother.
Is she dead?
Not yet but Jesus wants her whole heart.
Don’t tell me he does transplants now!
10.I want to go to the lavatory.
They have closed all the public ones.
I should think so.Who wants to be watched all the time?
You’ll have to go in the telephone box.
I only have a Nokia 105.
Didn’t I tell you to get a phablet?
I’m not smart enough to spell that!

I’m so sensitive ,I get people fatigue even when I am by myself.~
I’m so sensitive,I can hear other people’s hearts beating .It gives me palpitations.
I was so precocious I spoke before I could talk.
I am so attractive I have to wear a veil and cloak to keep men away
I love unattainable people as true intimacy is wearing.
I love myself because I need all the love I can get.
I am so frightened of being trapped under a dryer I cut my hair off with the dressmaking scissors.Now it just needs a wash and breeze dry..
I did a test for autism.I heard I am off the spectrum.Why is it finite?
I’m not easily insulted as I feel a sense of deep shame all the time.
I envy those with rubber skins.I’ll come back as a shark or a whale
I’m so tentative I keep waiting for others to make the first move,whatever that is.
Marry with taste or depend upon treasure
None so kind as those who will not be.
There’s many a blue word spoken unblessed
I never said to you that I am seeding.

Were the Ammonites a people or a stone?
Was the government of fossils on the roam?
Were the rocks and mountains rumbling
As the government were stumbling?
I’ve sent my resignation on a bone.

Was the Earthquake sent by demons or mischance?
Were the stolen dinners appetising once?
Were the plates of this old earth
Asking what is human worth?
Was it you who sold my poems by mischance?
Do we set the table with tectonic plates?
In New Zealand, do men call each other, mate?
Did we eat with silver cutlery
To show the world our subtlety?
I bear in mind that I could navigate.
We’ll be sitting down to dinner with the men.
We’ll be grateful as a sinner is,Amen.
We’ll gladly serve our sentences
And weep to show repentance.
Then we’ll set off nuclear dynamite again

Unless you are Leonard Cohen,don’t leave a message,If you are,Yes.
There is someone here,me, but I am not going to answer your call.So that’s it
I’m afraid I have gone mad.Please call someone else.
I am feeling very tired and am in the oven to keep warm.The phone won’t fit in.
If you knew how bad I felt you would not be ringing me today.
I am writing a thesis to pin to the front door.Await events or resolutions.
Just because I have a phone does not mean I have to answer it
I have joined a silent religious order.It’s just me and God.And he speaks a different language than me.And he will never answer the phone.
I feel very sorry for you ringing me up day after day.I do not want to marry anyone,it’s not personal.
Did you know my phone bill is more than the gas?Neither did I! So phone off.I am pulling it out by the roots.I blame Sylvia Wrath.Well, actuallyI understand her totally.
Just think, a mobile phone might have saved Sylvia… that is really sad, being alone with two infants in that terrible winter and having no telephone.You don’t have to be crazy to go mad.

Goodbye, you cow
Speak of the horror.
Love bee do.
You blather
A design fit for flu
Must go sweep in the flue.
I need someone false.Not Hugh
Why,why, for now?
Gotta flow.
Kiss off
By four today.

Must fun now.
Thank you,I ‘m Dutch.
You are so fined.
Weep my secrets, tease.
I nearly love hues.

Pray Father , please hear my confession.I have sinned during this dreadful recession
What,again? What’ve you done,you naughty man? Maybe you stole a pancake pan
Nothing.I did.Nothing at all.Yet I am going up the wall
Then why are you here? Why do you fear.Sartre’s nothing in a bier
That’s what I’d like to know myself.Why have the police got all my wealth
Well did you walk? Or did you run? Getting to church is such good fun
No the police brought me in a van.I know nothing about a pan
Some folk will die to exercise.Tell me, truly, do you lie
No,I’m a criminal,Father Brown.I am famous in this town
You get free transport from the police? When will you get the full release?
They were charging me with onanism just for fun but decided it’s not done so I said, take me to a priest.He will hear me out at least
I don’t understand, in this sweet land Why did they that think you had sinned
I told them. myself for alibi.I thought I’d give Onan a try.They got me for murder which was a lie
You should sow your seeds, you know,my son.Some men say it can be fun
I live in a terraced house with none.I have not got my own garden
Sow them in someone else’s then.In such a case it is no sin
But isn’t it wrong to offer my sperm to a lady out of turn?
Everything is wrong on earth today.See what the ladies have to say
Well, what a surprise.A shock indeed Are you descended from Augustine’s seed?
He wasn’t married when he died.I don’t know if he had even tried
But he said before being dead ,Lord, make me free of lusty thoughts.I’ll get killed if I am caught
True,but it ‘s a very long time since then.Who can say if he sinned?
But men still feel like that, don’t they? I have heard some boast all day
So do women,yes they do.But first you have to charm and woo
Well, they’re ironing and washing.Not so good for heating passion
I think they ought to wash before they dry.I’m man, so hi di hi
I’ll tell them but you tell me Should I wash before I woo
Before you woo, what else to do?
Flattening myself with the red hot iron.Then they’ll love me when I’m dyin’
A novel way of suicide.I once tried when down in Hythe
I thought I would at least look real nice.That makes it worth the heavy price
But it’s wrong to kill and wound.Even yourself ,I had assumed
Everything’s wrong,you told me so.Why not choose the time to go?
But that is wronger than most wrong.The birds will lose their evensongThink of those left here behind! Keep their faces in your mind
They can follow free of charge.All they need are irons large
If we did that the world would end.Utter blackness would descend
Seems like it’s going that way now.I’m just helping in the how
Are you curious to know who wins the vote?
I have lost my three remotes
Have you got a radio? They will tell you when they know.
I am sorry for my sins.It seems that evil often wins
For your penance eat a cake.Then go rambling by the lae.If you see a pretty girl ask her if she’s like a whirl.
Surprise them by lying real vague like a dead ghost
A dread like a wolf’s toe nail hit me.Chiropody fee required.
Shake the tiger by your wail and you will be safe ,or play dead
Slow longings make doubt rise
If only balls could talk,we’d be nuts.
The spout was swilling the kettle’s back on the fire
Think outside the frocks
Prick your seeds daily
But at the dividends of the delay we’d be ok
Plenty will fish with no sea,some with no rod,pole or perch.
Every god has their decayed half life
She smoked like a tea pot in a brandy store and boy,what pot!
She owed Leonard Cohen a poem.Without knowing ,he was morally inbred
Hell ,he eased her pain.His real name.Norman,morning
Professor Rosa Benchez was in the staff-room at Mid-Rise-Jeans University collecting her mail and having coffee at 9.30 am on Monday morning after running 10 miles on her rowing machine.It rowed and she ran
How are you,Rosa? enquired Danny her friend and colleague in the School of Learning.
I’m feeling extremely insignificant today? she replied.I am giving a lecture on Semiotics and it’s those French people who use such idiotically complicated language.We all know that an object like a bird has to have a name before we can talk about it.
Well.,said Danny, I thought you’d just say,”In the pink” as usual to my greeting, so you must feel bad.Does each bird have to have its own name,he continued wonderingly?
Well,it depends on the context, she informed him coolly and enigmatically.
First,if we are looking at birds as a class or set, they just need a name like “bird”.It could have been anything bit somehow it was” bird” that occurred like x is used in algebra.We may just study one bird then we give it a number to identify it.That is its name
Danny gazed at her beautiful bosom under her semi-transparent pink blouse.Did she dress like that on purpose to provoke men or did she feel so insignificant that she didn’t realise anyone could see her purple lace bra and her green silk and wool thermal vest with matching briefs, though fortunately they were invisible
Danny,I’m talking to you, she called sympathetically.Why are you quiet?
I dunno, the world famous biologist replied.Maybe I am not quite here today.
You too,she murmured quietly ,like the stream in Little Walsingham by the ruined Abbey.
Are you anxious about your lectures,she enquired softly and caringly?
No, not really ,he said tearing his eyes away from her revealing clothing.
Is there a biological reason why a scholar like Rosa would wear this unusually exciting outfit.
The truth was more mundane.Rosa bought her clothes in Sales and was indifferent to the way men might feel seeing her like this.After all,did she notice if they wore deep purple underpants that showed above their low rise jeans or gold coins on a chain with matching earrings?
She only looked at their faces while they naturally were drawn to see what amazing and colourful outfit she was wearing that day. and what her lingeries looked like.
What did her partner feel?Had he left her for a woman who dressed in thick beige blouses and stockings with grey skirts?
To dress well takes time and Rosa did not give it enough although so far she had not lectured in a string bikini nor an evening dress she had found in a jumble sale
These French people have made a fortune by re-labelling well know things like birds as “signified” and the word “bird” as a sign!
It reminded her of a sociologist who got a large grant to see if women were more scared walking under a railway bridge at night if there were no streetlight there
The conclusion seems obvious.And that was what they proved “scientifically”
Statistics,numbers, that’s what journals want.
She went to her lecture room and turned on the lights.Eighty students gazed at her happily.She was the kindest and cleverest lecturer in the place.Take that how you will.
Now, she informed them,I put 30 handouts in Dr Bevan-Finnish’s drawer for the seminar but someone has stolen them, she said menacingly.I write these handouts and if they do not appear by noon ,nobody will get another one for the entire semester
With that, she turned to the blackboard and defined ” the signifier”
Well,it’s better than taking the insides out of chickens on a conveyor belt she thought silently as she moaned on while the students took notes.
After lunch Rosa was in the staff room talking to some women colleagues when Dr Bevan -Finnish came over,blushing dark red as he approached.He said the handouts were back
Why is he so shy, Rosa asked herself,not realising it was her outfit that provoked his blushes.And that is a very important thing to remember… whoever we are with affects us so a bold man like Bevan-Finnish seemed shy when with Rosa whereas with another more sensibly dressed woman he was quite at ease.
There may be a few men who are not affected this way but not many otherwise the human race would die out and then where would we be?Nowhere!
What a pity nobody tells a lady like Rosa the facts of life so she goes about causing sinful longings in her colleagues quite oblivious.Even some of the women were getting affected but nobody dared to tell her.At least it drew students to her lectures and who knows, they might have learned some Linguistics as well.And it kept them off the streets.Which streets nobody knows.Yet!

How are you feeling,the doctor asked plaintively With my senses,I replied jocosely
No,I mean how is your body? he extrapolated.
You can see it better than me,I informed him
as I got on to the couch.
But I can't feel it,he said languidly.
I shall permit you to feel it
I said in a kindly ruin of my voice
He pressed my abdomen,but not with a hot iron luckily
Owzat,I shouted politely.Not out yet
He said ,I think your organ is inflamed.
That is very rude,I told him with a garbled smile
I mean your bladder, he riposted fluently
Has it ever crossed your mind that we only know we have bladders
because we read that in a book. I said in a puzzled tone.
Unless you are a surgeon,I continued courteously
We can see it on a scan, he said charmingly.
Well ,we only have the word of a technician,I said logically
. So are you telling me you don't believe you have a bladder
he said with a Freudian dignity
only matched by that of a million psychoanalysts across the world.
I'll accept it as a hypothesis I said.
All that water must be stored somewhere though
in many older folk it is in their ankles,I resumed. And now and then people get water on the brain.
How does that get out? I enquired in my intriguingly female tones.
I think we'll leave it there,he said.
That's no good.How about sticking a canula into my brain
to drain it,I suggested cleverly
Not on the NHS,he called from behind his screen
So you want me to pay. I think I'll go home and do it myself,
I said rudely
Thank God, he screamed.
No,you thank him I said.I am phoning for a cab.
Can you give me a canula or two
If you don't leave I'll give you
more than a canula he said vivaciously
What else is on offer, I demanded.
Knives, anaesthetics,disinfectant?
He left the room and I never saw him again.
Just as we were getting on so well.
If it had been Leap Year
I might even have proposed though what I have no idea.
Still I had no need for antibiotics which was a blessing.
I called for a cab.got out opposite my house,slipped into gutter.
It gives one a new perspective although
it was a mite unfortunate that a car was coming round the bend quite rapidly.
So It's goodbye from me.
You can pray to me unless you are a Protestant or are Jewish.
Tough luck.Just call me Saint from now on. And so bray all of us
