---------------------------------------- Note 3 a simple whine *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 4/11/80 8:11 pm tripp / udperuse / unidel whine / unidel 3/4/80 9:13 am graper / udperuse / unidel Dear Friends: Today I wake up and see that I'm behind schedule, put my pants on backwards (just like in the comedy movies), have to fix them, get on the bike, head out to Newark, a truck runs me off the road into the bike path (filled with snow and dirt), the back gear cable breaks and suddenly I'm stuck in ten gear all the time, the cable gets caught in the wheel causing me to skid all around, after coming to a slushy stop I angrily rip the cable out and that really screws up the back gear jigger, I finally get to Willard and then, oh then____ I run into a goddamned lamppost because the brakes have gone and I had a choice of running into either the lamppost or a poor elderly cripple and, ignoring the common sense that the cripple would have been far softer I run into the lamppost and make my front wheel sort of an ellipse. Then____ I realize that I left a paper I need to hand in to a professor is still on my desk at home. Fuck! ---------------------------------------- Response 1 of 1 *** A Story by Dr. Graper *** 4/11/80 8:11 pm tripp / udperuse / unidel whine / unidel 3/4/80 9:24 am graper / udperuse / unidel Dear Friends: And then, woah, then I find out that we're having a kiddie-demo for five year olds this morning and I despise the little philistines, the tiny bastards who play two games and say that they're bored with PLATO and wished they had gotten to go visit the turkey farm instead of this stupid old computer and you smile and act understanding when you'd really like to lock the little fart in a broom closet, boring old computer indeed! and then you've got to keep them from punching in IST screens when the thing doesn't work the first time and then they all___ want to go to the bathroom at once and jesus, what do you do then? I mean, they're all at most 2 feet tall and the urinals are at least 3 feet in the air so you try and get one of their teachers to do something or other and so on. Your Friend, Dr. Graper
