   Mensch, the one time Sadie actually has good advice…

   …although I’m starting to see why the Linksters (my former magazine’s nickname for the children of millennials and what is now called Gen-Z) are eschewing parenting for pets…

   …and people wonder why there are population crises in Scotland and Japan…

   Hence the reason tailors in India create the “chor pocket” inside the waistband on men’s trousers.

   That “It shows I’m a man to rely on!”

   David, I think you might mean “coarse” rather than “course” if you’re referring to consistency or texture in that sentence…

    I always thought it was Bob Dylan rather than Bruce Springsteen who sang that line…
