than if he said, ‘good morning, Aloysius’.

In a previous life I did a gig with a non-emergency ambulance service, transporting patients hither & yon, when my meanderings once took me to a garden-variety nursing home. I had to wait outside the room while the patient was made ready. In the hallway, an elderly man sat in a chair near the door, ardently and repeatedly informing me that he wanted an 18-year-old girl. I asked if he needed help with cooking & cleaning, but he didn’t appreciate my attempt at humor.
