Apparently it was ugly because a friend I went to dinner with said you should always leave a restaurant with a better coat than the one you arrived in, and that I was in no danger of losing mine. I sent it off to Afghanistan via PETA when we started bombing the people there back to the stone age. I hope someone did get use out of it.knittergranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160027913020949487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-25806342571384761362014-12-11T11:09:18.137-08:002014-12-11T11:09:18.137-08:00Dick Shrivel would be a great fictional detective ...Dick Shrivel would be a great fictional detective name.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-62508537854357454322014-12-11T07:25:13.515-08:002014-12-11T07:25:13.515-08:00You can judge the cold in Alaska by the degree of ...You can judge the cold in Alaska by the degree of nipple erection or dick shrivel.
