Ah, Scottie, you've painted such a lovely picture of Bristol, that
it seems indeed, to use a phrase of the Reverend Jesse Jackson,
a real "Hymie town". Why I bet it's almost like New York, where we
have been looking for someone to buy retail for the longest time.
But tell me, can you get a good, I mean a really good, half-sour
kosher dill pickle there (NOT the soggy kind)?
Still, I take it you're no cousin of Briscoe [see footnote 1] or of mine,
and I wonder how you would feel travelling about the American midwest
to have people occasionally peer intently at your head looking for that
slight indication of the bony protuberances they expect to find there[2].
all the best,
Mattis
[1] Briscoe was the Jewish mayor of Dublin. I would be happy to supply
anyone with the lyrics to the Irish song "MOSES RI-TOORAL-I-AY" by
Brain O'Higgins and performed by the Clancy, which contains the
phrase "cousin of Briscoe"
[2] This *has* happened to me
