HMM MAY BE. I WROTE IT DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER SOMEWHERE

OH, RIGHT! I COULDN'T FIND ANY MATCHES SO I LIT IT AT THE STOVE TO BURN SOME INCENSE! Y KNOW, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN FOR GINGER ANYWAY

HI EVERYONE!

WHAT TH.. WHAT'S GOING ON? THERE'S NO LIGHTBULB IN THE BATHROOM.

OH. I GOT RID OF ALL YOUR GENERAL ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS! YOU REALLY SHOULD BOYCOTT PRODUCTS OF THE MILITARY-INDUS TRIAL COMPLEY, YOU KNOW.

LATER, AFTER SPARROW GETS HOME. Look, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH MILKWEED. SHE'S USED TO LIVING ON A LESBIAN FARM! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THOSE BULBS I REALLY ADMIRE HER FOR TRY ING TO LIVE OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM, AND I THINK WE CAN LEARN A LOT FROM HER!

OH? WELL AT THE MOMENT SHE APPEARS TO BE GLUED TO OUR GENERAL ELECTRICTV SET SHALL WE FOLLOW HER EXAMPLE?

SHE'S JUST BRINGING HERSELF UP TO DATE ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PATRIARCHAL POPULAR CULTURE. THEY DON'T HAVE TV AT THE FARM.

NICE TRY, SPARROW. IF SHE WASN'T WATCHING A PETTICOAT JUNCTION RE-RUN, I'D ALMOST BUY IT

HORROR STORIES IN REAL ESTATE: THE HUSBAND & WIFE SALES TEAM

Improperly tailored Glen plaid suit; whatever the width of the tie... it's wrong; the K of C ring; phony smile a half mile wide, and when you shake hands it's like shaking hands with a package of hot dogs.

Polyester E-Z wash suit; light pink blouse with hot pink ruffled trim around oversized bow; gets hair done at injection moulding plant; make-up courtesy of Sherwinn Williams; high pitched shrill giggle.

Sample "...well you say you want to have your name and...(with great Question: hesitation)...your friend's name on the deed?"

STARTING THIS MONTH

THE LESBIAN/GAY

COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER

WILL HAVE 500 NEW EMPLOYEES.

You could be one.

Through Community Shares, your payroll deduction can now reach The Center's vital gay/lesbian and AIDS program.

Greater Cleveland Community Shares is an alternative fund of 19 social action groups that you can now designate to receive your workplace giving. By checking off or writing in "Community Shares The Center," your donation will be specifically allocated to the gay/lesbian agency working most for you. Designating solely "Community Shares" is okay, too. Your giving will be equally distributed among The Center and our 18 fellow worthy agencies (listed below). Whether your employer is conducting a charity choice campaign or not, you can always identify "Community Shares" on your payroll deduction card. Without coming out on the job, you can turn your paycheck into a gay check.
