Csar, csar, csar...it's true my mind is in the gutter more often than one may suppose from my refined...well, my refined everything!
And, speaking of gutters...my Russian student told me that she always makes sure to use the word "cannot" instead of "can't." She said this is because one time she said "can't" and one of her male coworkers repeated her pronounciation as "cunt" thinking she wouldn't get it. She said, "I already knew this word, so I knew what he was implying. I read it in a book by Jackie Collins." PS Jackie Collins is the sister of Joan Collins, and is known for her outrageous, trashy novels about jetsetters. I myself have read HOLLYWOOD WIVES. Jackie Collins is like Jacquelin Suzanne--but not as classy. PS Jacquelin Suzanne wrote Valley of the Dolls. Gosh...it's exhausting writing emails to you!
"silver sparkle drops" - love that! and that picture is something I'm very familiar with. Thanks for playing this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Boxer! I love Haiku Monday, and you are an excellent host!
DeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Curm!
DeleteThat Fleur. Mind always in the gutter.
ReplyDeleteOr is this really not about gutters and I missed the whole point again?

You could have stopped at "Jackie Collins," thank you very much. While I'm out of it, I'm not dead. Clinically, anyway.
DeleteHey Fleur,
ReplyDeleteWe haven't seen you lately. Haiku Monday is at http://serendipitouswildmoments.wordpress.com/ this week. Come play.
