let's try to do in the dirt

All:I'm still trying to get the hang of the new math, or the male itch, the 
heartbreak of shingles, ED, or three or four other nuisances which my native 
delicacy precludes my specifying, but I'm pretty sure that Ed Guinn ought to 
be lumped in, if he wouln't mind being lumped, with the youth corps of 4 or 
5 friends.  I haven't seen my old pal Ed in a while, but it seems like he 
ought to count for more like 5/3 of a person for his gravity psychical and 
physical, times 5=3 people at least Goodman Ed ought to vote for and 
represent.
