Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hello everybody !!! I just came across this little story in a book (Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves. Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman, London, Sidney, Auckland, Johannesburg, Rider Books, 1992). It may inspire some of you : " A man came to a szabo, tailor, and tried on a suit. As he stood before the mirror, he noticed the vest was a little uneven at the bottom. 'Oh,' said the tailor, 'don't worry about that. Just hold the shorter end down with your left hand and no one will ever notice.' While the customer proceeded to do this, he noticed that the lapel of the jacket curled up instead of lying flat. 'Oh that?' said the tailor. 'That's nothing. Just turn your head a little and hold it down with your chin.' The customer complied, and as he did, he noticed that the inseam of the pants was a little short and he felt that the rise was a bit too tight. 'Oh, don't worry about that,' said the tailor. 'Just pull the inseam down with your right hand, and everything will be perfect.' The customer agreed and purchased the suit. The next day he wore his new suit with all the accompanying hand and chin 'alterations.' As he limped through the park with his chin holding down his lapel, one hand tugging at the vest, the other hand grasping his crotch, two old men stopped playing checkers to watch him stagger by. 'M'Isten, oh, my God!' said the first man. 'Look at that poor crippled man!' The second man reflected for a moment, then murmured, 'Igen, yes, the crippling is too bad, but you know I wonder...where did he get such a nice suit?' " With all best wishes from Paris, Christoph _________________________ Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Messenger ! Découvez les tarifs exceptionnels pour appeler la France et l'international.
