A bunch of tough military guys selling cookies in pretty celophane bags, or cakes with flowers made of frosting. . .  |

Just to buy more weapons of war. Go figure, huh?

Umm . . . they probably wouldn't be pink and frilly. More likely, with the air force, they'd be blue or black and with pockets. Totally utilitarian.

But it would be funny if they were all frilly.

True, though I don't know what the air force guys would think of that.

Somehow, I don't think they'd go for it. Pity.

"the prhase "in the dark" as i'm sure you know, can refer not only to one's shadowy surroudings, but also to the shadowy secrets of which one might be unaware. every day, the sun goes down all over these secrets, and so everyone is in the dark in one way or another. if you are sunbathing ina park for instance, but you do not know that a locked cabinet is buried fifty feet beneath your blanket, then you are in the dark, even though our are not actually in the dark, whereas if you are on a midnight hike, knowing full well that several ballerinas are following close behind you, then you are not in the dark, even if you are in fact in the dark. of course, it is quite possible to be in the dark in the dark, as well as to be not in the dark not in the dark, but there are so many secrets in the world that it is likely that you are always in the dark about one thing or another, wether you are in the dark in the dark, or in the dark not in the dark, although the sun can go down so quickly that you may be in the dark about being in the dark in the dark, only to look around and find yourself no longetr in the dark about being in the dark in the dark in the dark, but in the dark in the dark nonetheless, not only because of the dark, but because of the ballerinas in the dark, who are not in the dark about the dark, but also not in the dark about the locked cabinet, and you may be in the dark about ballerinas digging up the locked cabinet in the dark, even though you are no longer in the dark about being in the dark, and so you are in fact in the dark about being in the dark even though you are not in the dark about being the dark, and so you may fall into the hole that the ballerinas have dug, which is dark, in the dark, and in the park."

I've read some of his books. It's interesting how he defines some of the words for you.

I can imagine. I have yet to read his books, but Torry tells me I would like his sense of humor.
