Sorry, but what has all of this to do with Salinger? I missed the beginning of it...

  Hey Rocky, watch me pull an autobiography out of my hat...

  Again?

  Nothin' up my sleeve....

        It is a little remarkable that -- though disinclined to talk overmuch of myself and my affairs at the fireside, and to my personal friends -- an autobiographical impulse should twice in my life have taken possession of me, in addressing the public. The first time was three or four years since, when I favored the reader -- inexcusably and for no earthly reason that either the indulgent reader or the intrusive author could imagine -- with a description of my way of life in the deep quietude of an Old Manse. And now -- because, beyond my deserts, I was happy enough to find a listener or two on the former occasion -- I again seize the public by the button and talk of my three years' experience in a Custom House.

  Whoops, obviously someone else's narrative. The hat bears the wrong initial.

  Now here's something we hope you'll *really* like...

  --John
