A local fraternal organization (which should remain nameless except they're probably most- known for their in-lodge bar rather than community efforts) has a number just like our's except for the rolled last digit pair. Well, we're used to the "Is Harry there (spoken just like your grandfather would 'bark' it when he felt ornery at not being able to find his buddy)?" But one day a couple of years ago, one of our local matrons called us accidentally; and in a very stuporous state, wanted all kinds of company. I'd even do, it didn't matter that this wasn't the lodge, or that I didn't belong to the lodge, or that I was, oh, 30 years her junior. As the Teaneck or Brentwood of Oregon, this just isn't what I'd expected from our locals. Oh well, I'd seen The Graduate. -Keith Keith Brown UUCP: {decvax allegra ucbcad ucbvax hplabs ihnp4}!tektronix!reed!keithb BITNET: keith@reed.BITNET ARPA: keithb%reed.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu CSNET: reed!keithb@Tektronix.CSNET CIS: 72615,216
