AT HOME--
Stephen
Reiter had never been that close with his father, but he knows he's no
dope. Benjamin (Ben) Reiter was always away on business trips when Stephen
was growing up, missing ball games, concert recitals, and cub scout events.
Stephen and his dad grew further apart each passing year, until they were
like strangers living in the same house. They would exchange banal pleasantries
but feel a vague discomfort when the other was in the room. Christmas
and birthday gifts were generic and without much thought: gift certificates,
razors, an occasional best-selling novel.

Reiter and his father Ben find that they have at least one
thing in common. |
|
It seemed unlikely
that with all the distance and awkward silence between them there was
any chance of forming a bond. It was almost by accident that the two Reiter
men discovered that they shared at least one 'token' interest. |

Men Protest Outside Breast Reduction Clinic |

BEVERLY HILLS, CA-- Protest groups in front of a breast reduction clinic have been swelling in size in recent weeks. Hundreds of men who are "pro-breast" have been lining up with signs and banners decrying the elective surgery. They are challenging the recent court decision allowing a woman the right to choose to reduce the size of her breasts.

"I don't agree. This is an affront to Nature and to God," said one bearded man. "God intended the female breast to be large and fruitful. He never meant these bountiful fruits to be tampered with. Every time a woman desecrates her body in such a manner, men around the world cry out."
"Have these doctors no shame?" he asked, "This has got to be a sin. Can't someone look it up?" |

AT THE
LIBRARY -- Brian
Raymond had been warned before. He knew that he and "his kind"
were not welcome in that section of the library. But cutting through the
Science Fiction section in the middle aisle was the quickest and easiest
route through to the lower mezzanine and on to the Fantasy Fiction area
of the public library.

| A
science fiction nerd guards the sci-fi section of the library
against unwanted fantasy fiction nerds. |
|
Passing by
the Self Help section, Brian paused. He looked both ways. The aisle was
empty. Brian quickly crossed over to the periodicals and onward towards
the Gardening section before he realized that someone was shadowing him
on the other side of the book stacks.
Brian quickened his pace. He wished
he had an invisibility ring or a shield of dragon scales to protect him
from the inevitable confrontation with the science fiction nerd he knew
was following him. |

(left) and Bobbi Levington. |

But last week when
he brought his friend Tessa Wright over to meet his parents, his mother
reacted with shock and disdain.
"I don't want
my Sheldon dating no coloured girls," exclaimed Edith Whittneir,
58. "There are enough blondes, brunettes, and redheads in the city for him to associate with."
Sheldon was completely
embarrassed by his mother's reaction. |

ON THE INTERNET-- It was recently published in the news that monkeys would be willing to pay for pornographic material. Studies
were done that showed evidence that monkeys responded to certain erotic
stimuli, and that if a monkey had money, he would spend it on porn. I
guess the old adage holds true: "If you peel a banana for a monkey, he
will eat for a day. But if you teach a monkey how to surf the Internet,
he will find his own peelers." |
