Dogs and pianos

[tune4u@earthlink.net]

I gotta say, T, I've heard the term "A World of S**t." You seem to live in
such a world. Not everything nor everybody is out to get you, for Heaven's
sake.

We may all die from germs, dog cooties, and red meat, but I fear you will
have long-since preceded us in shuffling off this poopy coil--done in by
anxieties and popping neck veins.

You've got to learn to lighten up, mi amigo, life is better than that.

PS Next time, call me when you turn down free grand pianos. I'll bring my
Poop-Scoop, skid board, dolly, pads, ropes, and truck. (Well, first I'd have
to GET a truck.)

Yes, I have smelled plenty of reeking people, too, of
all economic conditions. Highly repulsive!
    But "Sterile world"? What about the fabulous 6'4"
Packard ($300) I had to turn down because of the pile
of excrement that had been under it? (Tell-tale sign:
badly corroded leg ferrules. Owner "fessed up".)  Or
the vintage Balwdwin "L", also $300, same story.
     I think that I merely have a civilized
disposition but, alas, such is not fashionable these
days, as can readily be seen in our media.
