The Brigade

Halfway through college we gals found an Irish pub downtown. We got to sing and have a pint but there was always a line for the ladies’ room.

I asked that they give free beer and charge $10 for the restroom but that didn’t go over so started my brigade system. We took over the mens’ room as well and the two first in line guarded the door. We still had a line and men went to the front of it but with 200 people in a pub and two onesie restrooms we did what we had to do.

Let’s hope they re-arranged their restroom system and their music is alive. That’s where I learned about “the man who never returned” on the MTA.

Let’s hope it’s at least as popular as Dee’s Kitty Wake-Up List. That’s what I invented for the spay/neuter feral cat clinic for our volunteer “breathers” to use to show which cats came successfully out of anaesthesia then just took a nap from those who were still “under” or dead. None died in Recovery on my six-year watch.

And now I’ve birthed a crosswalk where no motorist will ever stop. I do think of inventive things and follow through on them, some to great success. Just say, “keep up the good work, Dee.” Aw, shucks. Dee
