WACKY WORLD
My world is often a mixed-
up, wild, wacky one and many of
the items I will be talking about
this month will prove it. But
don’t get me wrong I love it -
because my world is YOU and 1
! OVE YOU all!
THUMBING A RIDE
A study was conducted at
the University of Washington
that revealed that the size of a
female hitch hiker’s bust was an
important factor in her getting
rides.
Ir was found that a girl or
woman could increase her
number of rides by twice as
many by adding padding to
increase their bust by two in
dies.
The whole idea of this study
was to examine the effect of body
language on human relationship.
The people conducting the study
said that next they may study
male hitch hiker to determine
whether or not those showing
more chest hair got more rides
from female motorists. 1 think
that they are looking in the
wrong place. It might be better
to see if padding helps the male
hitdi hiker as well . . .
THE HEAD OF CHRIST
I don’t mean to be
sacreligious by this next item but
it is just a bit too much!
Jesus Christ is traditionally
believed to have ascended
into heaven bodily after his
resurrection, but did you know
that a little bit of him was left
behind?
Jesus as a child was cir-
cumdsed and, according to
tradition His holy Foreskin was
preserved and guarded by a
succession of the devout. It
finally reached the santorum of
the Vatican itself where it stayed
until the sack of Rome in 1527
when it was stolen by a German
mercenary.

Dear Jeannie:
In my five years of being gay, I
never thought I would have to
ask for someone’s help in my
relationship with my lover. My
lover is a chicken hawk. * About
three weeks ago when 1 went to
work. I knew he was going to the
beach. He found Mark, some 16
year-old slim, blond kid. He said
he'd be home at 6 p.m., but lie
did't get home until 11. 1 could
feel in my heart that something
was up. I went out for a walk
from 8 until midnight. When I
was on my way u p the stairs, he
saw me and came up to me and
kissed me and told me that he
loved me. Then we went to our
ajiartnicnt and talked for a few
minutes. He told me lie fell
asleep on the beach, but I asked
with whom and he told me about
it. I tried not to cry, but finally I
couldn't keep the tears in any
longer. He’s still seeing Mark
and it hurts inside my heart to
know that someone is holding
him and saying they love him,
and I don’t know if he is saying
the same thing back. When I go
nut with my friends, he gets mad

Dear Jeannie:
Recently some new terminology
began appearing in the ads in
the gay press, and no one I’ve
talked to here in the Midwest
knows what it means yet. The
term is "Aroma” and is always
capitalized and in quotes. I’d
appreciate any information you
have.
