GoodFather Of Math: 1000 Page Salute
______________________________________________________________________________________
Forty-eight pages were about me.
Dawn Powell
"I get to speak on thirty-nine pages."
"So do I."
Twenty-nine pages are about us.
Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald
And the same number
of pages are about us.
The Beatles
Three cheers for all of the above.
But I appear on sixteen consecutive pages.
William Steig
But you can add the Steig pages
to thirty-one of our own.
New Yorker
For this, I got Nine Pages
but I had to die first.
J.D. Salinger
Don't bother to count
the pages where
we appear.
Art Daily
I watered the plants
of STREET ART UTOPIA
fourteen times.
Also, there are seven pages
dedicated to Banksy.
Sorry, Salinger
but I got ten pages!
Herman Melville
And we got all of sixteen pages.
Adan & Eva
Visibly or invisibly–according to him–
I am a part of every page!
Mrs. CarPeo

She Said...He Said...Again (He/She #39) ©
______________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________
"Hey, sleepy face. Once again, you missed Marcel DuTramp."
"What did the Poet Laureate have to say today?"
"Well, a booming voice filled the coffee house:
WELCOME TO DECEMBER!
HE WAS BORN THIS MONTH.
The baristas silenced the espresso maker
and everyone stood at attention."
"Then what?"
"He recited the following:
Jesus was a Jew
until the resurrection, you know
then he discovered EGO:
I want a religion named after me!
All he wants every Christian to do
is remember they are all part Jew.
"He stopped right there but nobody made a sound."
"Too bad."
"Then he added All you need is love
and everybody applauded."
"Deservedly. But shame on me because I forgot
he had recited that poem to me on the Jetty.
"Shame on you but all we need is love."

Tune In To Mark Twain
______________________________________________________________________________________
Truth is stranger than fiction,
but it is because fiction is obliged
to stick to possibilities; truth isn't.
Pudd'nhead Wilson
Words are painted fire.
A look is the fire itself.
A Connecticut Yankee...
Do not offer a compliment and ask
a favor at the same time. A compliment t
hat is charged for is not valuable.
Notebook
Work consists in what a body
is obliged to do...Play consists
of whatever a body
is not obliged to do.
Tom Sawyer
There is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.
The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg
The lie, as a virtue, a principle, is eternal. The lie, as a recreation,
a solace, a refuge in time of need, is the 4th Grace, the 10th Muse.
On The Decay Of The Art Of Lying
Without the lie, the truth would have no place to hide.
Oliverio
I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices.
Answers to Correspondents
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
Pudd'nhead Wilson

An Abandoned Salami Factory In Rome...
______________________________________________________________________________________
Is now the
METROPOLIZ MUSEUM OF THE OTHER & THE ELSEWHERE
It is also home
to 200 "squatters"
from around
the globe.
The Museum takes
the concept of
art gallery
into a new
dimension.
Mauro Maugliani
is the artist who
created this
woman.
I hope these "squatters"
become as famous as
Banksy.
Maybe, they will make
Street Art Utopia
a must-view
website.
The AFP photographer
is Alberto Pizzoli.
He has photographed
pigeons and popes.
These six images

Too Personal To Call Photoverio
______________________________________________________________________________________
Within seconds of this 1962 moment on our front lawn...
I offered to pay for the dry-cleaning
______________________________________________________________________________________
Lately,
I think of her
Not sixteen, like here but
Deliciously, eternally twenty-eight
And one month
Oliverio who? shot this…O-
Liverio who? stood on the porch:
I know them
Vividly as our parents
Eternally tattooed memories
Recalled in every age of their lives
It is my own personal portmanteau:
Oternity!
Within seconds of this 1962 moment on our front lawn...
the brother pulled the sister down to the ground
where they had a full-blown tickle contest
on the grass.
The mother and father laughed without being tickled.
I offered to pay for the dry-cleaning
of Linda's skirt and blouse.
Only the last sentence of this acrostic-verse
tattooed memory is pure fiction:
I was out-voted three to one
to pay the laundry bill.
But the most important fact is this:
Without Mrs. CarPeo, the page
would not exist!

For Argument Sake, There Are Ten Conga Dancers
______________________________________________________________________________________
The following logic problem appeared last week
in the New York Times Wordplay column.
In a party there are truth-tellers and liars. At some point,
they all form a huge conga line and start singing.
The first one goes, “There’s at least one liar here!”
The second one goes, “There are at least two liars here!”
And so on, until the end of the line.
Who is lying? Who is telling the truth?
In a second version of the party,
the first in line sings, “There’s exactly one liar here!”
The second goes, “There are exactly two liars here!” And so on.
In this case, who is lying, and who is telling the truth?
In the third version, the first sings, “There’s at most one liar here!”
the second, “There are at most two liars here!”
And so on. What then?
You may want to ignore the solutions below
until you come up with your own answers.
****
CASE 1
If there are ten dancers, the first five are telling the truth.
The fifth person is correct in stating There are AT LEAST five liars here.
The last five are lying and the lie told by the sixth person is
There are AT LEAST six liars here....
CASE 2
If there are ten dancers, nine of them are liars.
Only the ninth person is telling the truth.
That person is correct in stating There are EXACTLY nine liars here
But the tenth person, when saying There are EXACTLY ten liars,
is telling a lie. Everyone prior to the second-to-last dancer
is equally lying.
CASE 3
The most difficult of the scenarios because the statement
In a party there are truth-tellers and liars.
At some point, they all form a huge conga line and start singing...
diverts you from the correct answer.
If there are ten dancers, none of them are liars.
All of them are telling the truth.
For example, when the seventh person says
There are AT MOST seven liars here,
the truth is being told because
zere is less than seven.
The so-called "liars" on the dance floor, in this scenario
did their lying elsewhere!

you just detoured to heaven
Maybe there were
