always leaves the right money on the mantelpiece.")?

Ewwwwww....well, at least he's gainfully employed.

Worthless may be paid for press-ganging poor immigrants for grunt
labour. But whether what he does is productive defines whether it is
"gainful" to anyone but himself. He's called Worthless for a reason.

d) None of the above?

What do I get if I guess right?

Second prize is *two* weeks in Detroit.

Enquiring minds want to know.

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the
world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that
but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
--- Mariah Carey.

Is that a real quote? Astonishing.

I found that one but my friend Peter Allen collected a whole pageful
(page-full, just for you) of astounding examples of model-speak. I
assume Carey's a model. If she's not, she should be; she already has
the major qualification: perfectly exclusive narcissism -- "all those
flies and death" followed by the killer phrase "and stuff". Tom Wolfe,
the supreme diarist of candy-colored (just for you, twice) metal-flake
(thrice) excess, couldn't invent that.

Fat-arse (I contend it should be hyphenated, if you insist on using
the non-American form. "Fatass" leaves no doubt as to pronunciation.
You know how I obsess over **** like that. ;-)

I put that in just to push your button, Willie. Everyone knows you
have the fastest organ in the West.

But that's how they speak in Boston, too, very broadly; a literary
protege of mine from your part of the world studied at MIT and she can
be wickedly funny about Boston speech. But the truth is, they speak
better English in the five founding colonies, now States, than in most
parts of England today. That is because the American language, despite
its inventiveness, has in fact developed less than in the Anglo-Saxon-
Jute homeland.
