I’m off to see the Pittsburgh, the wonderful Pittsburgh of PA. Posting may be light the next couple of days, but, like Maru, I do my best. Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Andrzej takes the mickey out of editor Hili:
Hili: I’m delegating authority.
A: For what?
Hili: You take the decision about opening a can.
A: Of tomatoes?
Hili: No stupid jokes, please.
In Polish:
Hili: Deleguję władzę.
Ja: W jakiej sprawie?
Hili: Podejmij decyzję o otworzeniu puszki.
Ja: Z pomidorami?
Hili: Bez głupich żartów.
Tomatoes? Heresy!
The only canned goods allowed are tuna and other cat-approved tit-bits.
No other can look askance quite like a cat!
And they have this other way of looking away and squinting, when they are showing friendliness. Mystifying!
