Of Facts and Fantasy by Reta M. Berrill Some Things We Could Do Without iy It takes all kinds of people to make a world and, we're all here. This is not original and we know not to whom credit is due. However, it's true, and we'd go one step farther and add; it'takes all kinds of things and conditions and we have them too. But some--we could do without. Surely everyone has a list of personal pet peeves. These are a few of ours. T.V. ads for subjects that make us wince, and wonder -is nothing sacred or private anymore? Canned laughter and audience applause. especially on comedy shows, where the punch-line is invariably lost in the background clatter. And this is doubly frustrating to those with less than perfect hearing. When the way-out-there audience is supposed to be the main one, why can't it be arranged to appear that way? Stories--book length or short form that originate, culminate and terminate in the gutters. Words that befoul our language. Loneliness. Whining, grumbling and belittling. house after dark, and found later like frozen corpses among the shrubbery. Or attempting to scale the garden: fence--escapees from a trash-can. : Winters, that overstay their reservations. Mealy bugs, cutworms -and crabgrass. And maurading cats obsessed with bird-life. Brashy braggarts, whose chief topics are, their inordinate success with the other gender, and, or, their abnormal capacity for liquids. Talk--too. long, too loud, and with too little substance. Silence can be golden. Spongers--those who make this their way of life and laugh at the suckers who make it possible. To some it would seem, there is no such thing as, dignity, self-respect or the simple joys of achievement. Smokers--who care not about: their seat-mates allergies. : Impatience--in this world of hurry and hustle, it's every-where. And the biggest question from the 'onlooker must be, "Do they actually know why they're in a hurry, or where they're going?" Diners--who hassle their waitress with hurry-up. Then--seated and satisfied--hold the table like they'd paid for a long-term lease. : * "These aresimply trifling irritations. Right. But was it not a straw that broke the camel's back? The last one of course. How manv had been previously placed doesn't matter. It wasa collection of little things and just one too many. feather-ruffling incidents is the conditioning program that enables us to meet the greater issues. (there has to besomegoodinit). And if we ean cope and still keep the blood pressure from bubbling over, we may have passed the test.
