attention last week by a chance
The subject of baldness was brought to my encounter with a young man I will call Mr X. His eyes were troubled. His teeth were clenched. He was, in short, in hul shape,
"I've just learned," he said glumly, "that it's in a very poor reproductive state."

"Fine and hungry," Chirple.
"You're always hungry," Kharf said to Chirple,
"Chirple dear," suk Hank, changing the subject, "you were a little late coming here this morning Did you forget about "your breakfast?"
"Oh no,” sald Chirple. "I was held up in traffe," he added.
