My God, we are in a mental void! The news lady just said, “And in a chilling coincidence, the man was arrested exactly thirty years to the day of President Kennedy’s slaying; of a man apprehended by a Secret Service Agent outside Jackie Onassis’ home on Long Island (?).” A search found a heavy duty pistol with six spent rounds in it and a box of hollow bullets in his camper. The man said he had just wanted to “hand deliver” his manuscript to the famous editor!! The news lady is relieved. . . . . . . !!!!!!!
And the genes genius are on the trail of a gene that could be causing colon cancer in a large family. A sister has died, one parent has it, and the others are worried. But the researchers are cheerful. At last, perhaps a breakthrough! Of no interest to their made-up minds is the family’s history: what they have been eating, drinking, breathing. What their habits are, good and bad. Their research is justified, maybe, at long last. Science will save us. Common sense, go home. We’ll get our grant renewed, and no one will be the wiser, wiser . .
Follow up to the intruder story: Hi, guy, so are you calmed down now? Not roughed up, are you? Hey, man, this is amazing, I mean, did you REALIZE that you were actually on Mrs. Onassis’ property on the exact day that President Kennedy was assassinated? Wow! I mean, like, that’s a one-in-a-million shot, right? And you hit it, whew, great, just, well . . . just blows my mind. How about you?
