Lesser laughter lesson

I am eating normally these days-thanks to NE. Airhostess gr8 cook.
We went jogging this morn. ‘t was drizzling. Had to mach her pace-slow.
Once we reached the ground (meeting place for athletes, lecturers…lawyers) me met another sad dost…left the place without any great incident. Moving out I had to wait for this salt pepper haired man to pass by n clear our way so that I may jump over the grill...impatient me as usual. He did a ladies first gesture. I explained and then jumped over. Aww he said (see this)…balanced himself on the rods in some great twisted fashion. I learnt the bat like hanging posture - will they insure my skull??
He had another lesson to teach me. Balanced himself again in a difficult position. I copied…could not hold myself and got up, laughed. He lost balance and mumbled -laughter distracted me…to maintain the focus do not even laugh.

I recalled a hundred instances when instinctive laughter distracted many a conversation… bad enough eh


later:

Madam,

I received the edited pages with queries. We have checked them and offered our clarifications on the edited pages. Hope you will find them in order.

I appreciate the editing work which seemed to have been carried out with great care. I am sure this will enhance the value of the book...

We do not intend to add the page of dedication*. foreword by the expert XYZ is under preparation and is likely to be available by end of July 2006...

Regards,
BBBLAH

this mail made my day ...we had done 250 pages in 7 hours ( inclusive of redoing the freelancers markings)
*I liked this non dedicated spirit:)
