Living It Down

A very long time ago, when I was a little kid, I went to a display of firefighting engines and gear. There was a photographer from the Bi-Weekly Birdcage Liner who would plop a fireman's hat on a child and take a photo. He wanted to take my picture and he persuaded me by showing his list of kids who he had photographed and said that my picture probably wouldn't be printed.

So I let him take my picture. You can guess which one made it into the paper. It took me months to live that down and the first few weeks were no fun. I was blindsided by it because my family instead subscribed to the Daily Fishwrapper.

I thought of that when I saw this item on the nightly news:

"Iraqi soldiers manning a checkpoint just north of Baghdad came upon a first: a wedding procession in which the bride, draped in a flowing white gown and veil, needed a shave."

That's going to be a hard one to live down for the Bitch of Cell Block Foxtrot.....
