Requiescat in Spooner

He hands you a hand towel and whisks off your coat...
...Christopher's crypt sports a Latinate quote:* 
     men's room attendant / Wren's tomb amendment

     * “Here in its foundations lies the architect of this 

church and city, Christopher Wren, who lived beyond 

ninety years, not for his own profit but for the public 

good. Reader, if you seek his monument -- look around 

you. Died 25 Feb. 1723” -- in Latin, of course.

The Best Words or One Fine Day During a Former-POTUS's Make-up Cognitive Test

S. Hannity: So, Mr. President: I'll read you a list of four words. I'll then ask you to name a fifth word which correctly completes the pattern established by the first four. Are you ready, sir...? The words are: person, man, woman, camera. And now, Mr. President, the fifth word...?

D. Drumpf: Person, man, woman, camera...Porn! But, by the way, Sean: don't forget that I deserve extra points for repeating the words in order.

A Hundred and One More (Men o' the Cloth & Material Girls)

Soon Le Textile Musée 

once more open'd will be.

     Soon they'll've hung their new show, 

call'd it "Men o' the Cloth."

Plus, entrées will be free.

     Nor'll be any unwelcome – 

unless they're a moth.
