Who among us hasn't said "What?"?!  If Nixon never did, then he's a better
man than Georges Perec, who wrote that shaggy dog of a novel that
completely excludes the letter E (translated into English by someone who
also successfully avoided any use of E)."


Uh, I think I did use that smiley emoticon ( :-) ).  Is there a more advanced
emoticon for "facetious"?

But I *do* wonder if Nixon ever, Profanely, said "Wha?"  (He said lots of
other stuff profanely [lower case] though.)
