Pamela, feel free to use this in your next novel about Santa Fe's complex society:
Tequila my girl, is deceiving: Take two at the very most. Take three and you're under the table, Take four and you're under the host. -- Doug Roberts, RTI International [hidden email] [hidden email] 505-455-7333 - Office 505-670-8195 - Cell ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |

...with apologies to Dorothy Parker, of course. (Original begins, "I wish I could drink like a lady...")

Also, credit must go to fortune -o
FORTUNE(6) UNIX Reference Manual FORTUNE(6) NAME fortune - print a random, hopefully interesting, adage [...] -o Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms. The -o option is ignored if a fortune directory is specified. Please, please, please request a potentially offensive fortune if and only if you believe, deep in your heart, that you are willing to be offended. (And that you'll just quit using -o rather than give us grief about it, okay?) ... let us keep in mind the basic governing philosophy of The Brotherhood, as handsomely summarized in these words: we believe in healthy, hearty laughter -- at the expense of the whole human race, if needs be. Needs be. --H. Allen Smith, "Rude Jokes" On Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 6:04 PM, John Sadd <[hidden email]> wrote:

Which reminds me, I was emailing a very proper English scientist lady
today, trying to figure out if her son and I had a mutual friend. Turns out yes, they both worked at McKinsey about the same time. Son described Michael, my friend, as very informal, lots of fun. Oh indeed, I scribbled back--I'll never forget the time I was in Michael's McKinsey office in Hong Kong, and he pointed to the Jardine building across the way, festooned for obscure architectural reasons, with rank upon rank of porthole windows. Know what we call that building? Michael asked. Noooooo, said the innocent visitors. "The building of a thousand assholes." Innocent visitors collapsed on the floor laughing, but after I'd hit the SEND key, I suddenly imagined Cecily calling for her salts. Oh well.
