:> "This book best read while sitting in a dark coffee shop dressed in :> mod black clothes, drinking a short cappucino with a sprinkle of :> dark cocoa, sprig of mint, reading "The Horseman on the Roof" by :> Jean Giono. You should be interspersing the reading of this book :> with conversations about Derrida with a dark-eyed, mysterious :> woman from Borneo, who seems transfixed on the mole on your neck." :> :>This assumes you are a man who wears black, likes strong coffee and Giono, :>and give a rat's patootie about Derrida. And that you're not blind. And :>that you speak English (or French, if you're reading Giono in the :>original). And that you read books. And that you have lips to drink the :>coffee... [Morning cappucino buzz now wearing off...] Don't forget the mole and the woman from Borneo, which many people do, and hence miss the point. Matt
