9: Roads are salted in order to

Has your family tried 'em?
POWDERMILK BISCUITS
Heavens, they're tasty and expeditious!
They're made from whole wheat, to give shy persons
the strength to get up and do what needs to be done.
POWDERMILK BISCUITS
Buy them ready-made in the big blue box with the picture of
the biscuit on the front, or in the brown bag with the dark
stains that indicate freshness.

2) Your mother, by the pigeonhole principle.
3) You don't know. Neither does your boss.

6) I know the answer to this one, but I'm not telling! Suffer! Ha-ha-ha!!
7) There is an interesting solution to this problem on page 10,953 of my
book, which you can pick up for $23.95 at finer bookstores and bathroom
supply outlets (or 99 cents at the table in front of Papyrus Books).

Hard Copies and Chmod
And everyone thinks computers are impersonal
cold diskdrives hardware monitors
user-hostile software
of course they're only bits and bytes
and characters and strings
and files
just some old textfiles from my old boyfriend
telling me he loves me and
he'll take care of me
simply a discarded printout of a friend's directory
deep intimate secrets and
how he doesn't trust me
couldn't hurt me more if they were scented in lavender or mould
on personal stationery
