JotD: Ballerina (PWH00004)

The PolyBlog
May 1 2025
This large, sweaty woman, wearing a sleeveless, stained sundress, walks into a bar. She raises her right arm, revealing a quite unshaven armpit as she points to all the people sitting at the bar. “What damn gentleman around here will buy this young lady a drink?”, she demands in a deep, gravelly voice.  The whole bar goes dead silent, as the patrons try to ignore her. The men next to her quickly move away, mainly because of her body odour. At the end of the bar, a skinny little drunken man slams his hand on the bar and says: “Bartender! Put it on my tab. I want to buy that ballerina a drink!”. The bartender obliges and pours the drink.  After she chugalugs the drink, she turns again to the patrons and points around at all of them, again revealing her hirsute armpit. “What &%¤#@ gentleman around here will buy a #@¤%& lady a drink?”, she again asks.  Once again, the little drunk slaps his hand down on the bar and says: “Bartender! I’d like to buy that ballerina another drink!”  After serving the lady her second drink, the bartender approaches the little drunk. “It’s your business,” says the bartender, “if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her a ballerina?”.  “Sir!”, replies the drunk, “Any woman who can lift her leg up that high has got to be a ballerina!”

  • Super frustrated with Anthropic’s Claude AISeptember 18, 2026
    Part of my life revolves around work, hobbies, my home life, and family. And, of course, writing. And as you’ll soon see, reading. How I got here I’ve been experimenting with Claude AI on and off for about six months now, after trying Gemini and ChatGPT for some stuff. For the first few months, it … Continue reading →

    Book clubs 2026-09: Dropping the hammerSeptember 15, 2026
    For September, I monitored 39 active clubs. Those clubs gave me 74 rows for consideration, representing 60 new books for the database. Of the 60, I said Yes to 9, Maybe to 8, and No to 43. I also considered Bestseller lists, which generated 116 other titles for possible consideration. Of those I said Yes … Continue reading →

    You might have noticed I’m a bit late again this month — I’m working on a big project related to my Calibre database, which has slowed me down; I was hoping to finish it quickly and get back to my book clubs. I didn’t, and it’s still going, but I wanted to get my lists … Continue reading →

    I worked on the list of books for July back in July, even though I wanted to just sit on the back deck and read all summer. I’d have invited you over, but, well, (shaking Kindle), “Book!”. But life got away from me, and I never did post the July list. As I mentioned in … Continue reading →

    Saying goodbye to my nephew BrianJuly 3, 2026
    Last night, we had a celebration of life for my nephew Brian. He was 51. There was a good turnout, as the saying goes, of family and friends. A group that Brian himself would have felt was too large and too much fuss. And as I looked at the picture boards that his sister Julie, … Continue reading →
