For most of the time she sat in her apartment staring at me, shaking her head, and saying "breinge" and "dwam," and, I, being the gentleman I am, I left to bring back French cheese and Indian food. When I returned her door was locked and no once answered the bell.<br /><br />Thinking back, that experience was probably the first time I felt like a doity old man.

I found myself dropping into a sing-song sound-alike of Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky, and with similar understanding. :-) I suspect I'm just fair doity more oft than not.
