I like the way you did the coffee cup. The new issue of "Rattle" is so interesting, combing the visual with poetry.

a guy was crazy about three women. he loved all of them equally. he thought that @ 45 years old he should get serious about getting married. he thought he would ask his mom's opinion as to who mom thought he should marry. his mom had good instincts. he invited all three women to a Sabbath dinner @ his mom's home. all three of them were sitting on the sofa. he told mom to guess who he was the most interested in. she said "easy, the women in the middle." he replied, "wow ,mom as usual you are correct, what made you to select her?" mom said"easy, I don't like her.",

This is a complicated joke. I thought it hilarious. But when I told it @ dinner with my wife and friends, I was treated with stoney silence. They said it was the kind of joke that was told in their household when they were kids Someone else said the joke was written by a man because Jewish grammas are not horny. But still, the vision of the woman with an elephant in her hands breaks me uo.
