    “Advertisements and the popular press only exist in their present form because of the profit motive. “Mass” culture is not the inevitable product of “industrial” society, but the offspring of a particular form of industrialism which organizes production for profit rather than for use, which concerns itself with what will sell rather than with what is valuable.”

    “Wednesday”

    By Lester | January 7, 2010

    (a 50-word story)

    Passing the seventh floor, he mooned a board meeting.

    She chided him, “Show some decorum.”

    He laughed. No, he hooted, exhilarated.

    “You’re not taking this seriously,” she said. “God will judge you in the end.”

    He considered: If he’d had a “do-over,” he’d have chosen someone else to jump with.

      Anyone who moons board meetings deserves a knighthood, IMO

      It must have been a long way down :)

      A posthumous knighthood, eh?

      Perhaps I should add that to my signatures in a premonitory fashion:

      Lester W. Smith, Esq.
      President, Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets
      KCH (posthumous)
