With an impending deadline to meet, I shall remain fettered to my oar till the wee hours for the rest of the week at least. While I am surely grateful, during this disruptive economic paroxysm, to have the opportunity to spend a healthful fifteen hours a day sitting in a cubicle writing code so as to earn my daily crust, this does mean that logorrheic scribblings of the usual sort are quite out of the question.
Fortunately, reader JK has sent a nourishing morsel our way. Apparently some mischievous demigod — Loki, perhaps, or Puck, or the impish Coyote of the American Indians — saw fit, the other day, to amuse himself in human form. Have a look here.

“JK” . . . “Just Kidding” . . . mere coincidence? Obviously, JK is the one dialing these prank calls.
But it was funny. I laughed till my eyes watered.

You know something Jeff? I was slightly irregular for a time after you’d posted pictures of your most recent visit “home.”
That you knew I (in better health) used to be a construction electrician somewhat familiar with hotel construction, that I could maybe, probably carry on a “plausible” telephone conversation…

well, at least no one made any comment about the fact that it was a desk clerk from ARKANSAS who was so gullible!

I think her parents moved here from Texas Jeanie.
Oooh, now you’re getting into my territory! That does indeed sound like something the trickster would do.
