that he might love her.

Imagination

According to the current doctrines of mysticoscientism, we human animals are
really and actually nothing but "organic patterns of nodular energy composed
of collocations of infinitesimal points oscillating on the multi-dimensional
coordinates of the space-time continuum". I'll have to think about that.
Sometime. Meantime, I'm going to gnaw on this sparerib, drink my Blatz beer,
and contemplate the a posteriori coordinates of that young blonde over yonder,
the one in the tennis skirt, tying her shoelaces. ...

MORE SPORTS RESULTS:
The Beverly Hills Freudians tied the Chicago Rogerians 0-0 last Saturday
night. The match started with a long period of silence while the Freudians
waited for the Rogerians to free associate and the Rogerians waited for
the Freudians to say something they could paraphrase. The stalemate was
broken when the Freudians' best player took the offensive and interpreted
the Rogerians' silence as reflecting their anal-retentive personalities.
At this the Rogerians' star player said "I hear you saying you think we're
full of ka-ka." This started a fight and the match was called by officials.
