Patrons throng the lobby, standing directly in front of my destination: the takeout window.

IÂ’ve been made. “Anna, how’re you?” sheÂ’s already placing my order.

“Well, thanks for asking. You?”

“Good! Ready in ten minutes—no! five! Okay?”

As I wait, I 55. Multitasking in inapposite places is an illicit thrill.

Thank you for your kind words, very nice of you. If you arm-wrestle DesiDancer and Anna for my affections, I might consider adding you to the list of SM babes ;)

To answer your other questions…..

Now if you tell me you have salt and peppa hair

No, my hair’s still, er, mostly black.

roguishly boyish good looks

Allegedly ;)

(albeit a tad dorky),

Afraid not…..I’m more Sandy Cohen than Seth Cohen these days (no that doesn’t mean I have those monster eyebrows)…..

and dimples a la Jon Stewart…

No — actually I wasn’t aware he had dimples. However, I do have a relatively deep voice, albeit growlier than Jon’s.

But I don’t shout as much as Jon does ;)

Some good contributions from everyone else this week, TheKingSingh’s 55 in particular made me laugh.

I noticed that there weren’t as many 55s as usual this time, although I guess it may be due to people not wanting to have their phones secretly tapped (assuming they haven’t been bugged already) or end up in Gitmo, blindfolded and handcuffed (yes I know some of you were probably doing that on Valentine’s Day anyway).

Veteran anchor Jon Stewart told Star News that Al-Qaeda don claimed to have been driving to Dubai on much-needed “spring break”, and had stumbled into Afghan war-zone after taking wrong detour at Damascus.

When questioned, OBL snapped “This is what happens when you let one of your wives read the map”.
