Ziad AL-Haji should advise her next to the bone

Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

to the railway sidings, was an
ill-favored place indeed. I knocked at the door of a house
which had the paint peeling off, and one window of which
had the glass "repaired" with sticky paper. The door
opened slightly and a slatternly woman peered out, tousled
hair falling over her face.
"Yeh? 'Oo d'ye want?" I told her and she turned with-
out speaking and yelled, " 'Arry! Man to see ye!" Turning
she pushed the door shut, leaving me outside. Sometime
later the door opened, and a rough looking man stood there,
unshaven, no collar, cigarette hanging from his lower lip.
His toes showed through great holes in his felt slippers.
"What d'ye want, Cock?" he said. I handed him the card
from the Employment Bureau. He took it, looked at it from
all angles, looked from the card to me and back again, then
said, "Furriner, eh? Plenty of 'em in Clapham. Not so
choosey as us Britishers."
"Will you tell me about the job?" I asked.
"Not now!" he said, "I've got to see you fust. Come in,
I'm in the bismint."
With that he turned and disappeared! I entered the house
in a considerably fuddled state of mind. How could he be
in the "bismint" when he had been in front of me, and what
was the "bismint" anyhow?
The hall of the house was dark. I stood there not knowing
where to go, and I jumped as a voice yelled beside me,
seemingly at my feet, "Hi Cock, ain't'cha comin' dahn?"
A clatter of feet, and the man's head appeared from a dimly
lit basement door which I had not noticed. I followed him
down some rickety wooden stairs, fearing that any moment
I would fall throu
