Everyone in the water! Even you caption-writers! Got a funny, fake caption for this picture? Of course you do. And you wouldn’t mind winning a $25 gift card, would you? Of course not.
A 48-year-old immigrant from Malta regularly hangs out in various New York City bars, but always on the floor, so that he can enjoy his particular passion of being stepped on. “Georgio T.” told The New York Times in June that he has delighted in being stepped on since he was a kid. While one playmate “wanted to be the doctor, (another) wanted to be the carpenter ... I would want to be the carpet.”
•Composer Jerry Herman is 78. •Singer Mavis Staples is 70.
DEAR ABBY: A co-worker, “Marilyn,” recently returned from time off with a noticeably different face. She said nothing about it, so we didn’t either for a while. Finally, one woman remarked to her that she appeared to have had “some work done.” Abby, Marilyn denied it! What’s considered proper here? Should we have said something initially about her radically changed appearance? We were afraid if we ignored it she’d be disappointed. Having spent that much money and gone through that much pain, wouldn’t she have been crushed if we hadn’t? — Inquiring Minds in Pasadena
DEAR BILLY GRAHAM: We moved last year and are attending a new church, but I’m afraid the pastor has turned us off because he talks about money so much. I know they have a lot of debt on their building and need money, but shouldn’t he stop focusing on this so much? Or should we just change churches? — B.E. DEAR B.E.: I don’t know your church’s full situation, of course, but have you shared your concern with your pastor or with some of the leaders in the church? I encourage you to do so, not with a negative attitude, but out of a desire to help.
Although he died nearly two weeks ago, I wonder if Michael Jackson will ever get to rest in peace. From his face to his kids to his will, the Jackson family circus is in the news every day.
