Pibgorn interruptus
Greetings all,
This is the Snark, logging in from Aarkvard to pass along my father's
apologies for being unable to post a Pibgorn. This message he has
conveyed to me from the emergency room, where he must (as he put it)
surrender his gallbladder for his efforts.
Bottom line, all is well. In the meantime, he just wanted you to know.

You can have an operation to remove
your French heritage?
Take care, Brooke!

Yes but with their socialized health care system, the resulting
shortages/waiting lines for the procedure are predictable.

Only part of it. I understand that it's easier to separate a Frenchman
from his gall than from his Gauloises.

It's a difficult operation, as the surgeon has to take care to excise
all of the _partes tres_.

It must be thirty years since I heard that joke! Some things may be
better off forgotten!

One could only hope. I just finished a book of science fiction short stories Mrs. PBS brought back
from the liberry, and one of them was a horrific tale about a man who gradually turned French -
first to the point that he had difficulty thinking or speaking in English and preferring the company
of other French Americans, then disdaining those as "not French enough", then upon arrival in
France finding that nobody was, in fact, really French enough to suit him.
