PSYCH EVALUATION CARDS

  Men covered themselves with mud, then pigments, leaves, berries....then tattoos, jewels, animal skins and cloths....to both signify both their congruity with and status among the members of their Species..... In the context of the Fashion of their Times........

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE GRAVY? Over the years, I've had Gypsy fortune tellers offering to 'read my tea leaves', palms, skull bumps, fingernail ridges, palms and the bottoms of my feet.....the smoke from censers, my aura...even the veins on the back of my hands or the clouds and stars in the sky.......Perhaps, I should just 'have them over' for chipped beef and gravy, on toast, and just be amused by their Religiosity......IS THERE A MESSAGE IN THE GRAVY?.......OR JUST COINCIDENCE, POSING IN CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF, squeezed from a plastic bag? I recall that line of people that cued up to have Alison McLaughlin, Clarice Geigerman and I, wearing turbans and robes, 'read their fortunes' beneath the Roller Coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia almost a half century ago...the three of us, just rambling out whatever came to mind.........Thousands of years after Homo Sapiens began to walk on their ...
