The DUO-logue is alive!
Nasty old man. But you know natural light is the best for seeing clearly and his old shrew of a wife makes him clean up after himself at home when he tries to maintain his dignified appearance, so instead he feels the Muni Maintenance crews should have to pick up his, uh, shavings. Yuck. Click, click. Reminds me of this. Scroll down to the 4/29/04 entry.
A few weeks ago, Wade & I were driving home on University Ave heading east. As we crossed Park Ave we saw an elderly Asian man in a nice gray suit relieving himself in broad daylight against one of the those giant electrical boxes. Now I subscribe to a mailing list put out by a company specializing in wacky items from Japan that sends out bi-weekly dispatches about Japan from the POV of a gaijin living in Japan and from a recent e-mail I had learned that many Japanese men have a favourite place to pee outside, a bush, a tree, a whatever where the prefer to relieve themselves. As a result, there are many signs in Japan urging passers by to please not relieve themselves in the area. This gave the somewhat disturbing sight of the man peeing in full view of the road some contextual basis. I could place it in the realm of “Well, that might be his culture.”, but it was still really bizarre. Perhaps he will learn that it is so not accepted here when the SDPD arrests him for indecent exposure. Or maybe I should buy one of those signs and hang it in the area as a public service.
Please be careful crossing the street. It is pretty girl season and their plumage is very nice this year, but it�s not that nice. A schmushed Rick is a sad Rick.
