Hanging in her bathroom as an <i>objet d'art</i> was one of those department store brassiere mannequins, waist to neck, front half only, clear Lucite. I had a better use in mind. Before a grad school party, I borrowed it. An assortment of Jell-o packages to approximate what Crayola used to call "Flesh", a couple of Maraschino cherries; it was for dessert, of course, but I unmolded it before the party, You had to see how many times someone accidentally bumped into the kitchen table that evening and set it jiggling.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927176621372532733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-10236364121309801032015-09-11T11:32:32.732-07:002015-09-11T11:32:32.732-07:00The previous dozen or so comments should make it c...The previous dozen or so comments should make it clear as to why I chose geology as a profession.
