[Fredslist] Leftovers

[Christopher Lamal]

Like the rest of you, I just got yet another one of Fred's and Geraldine's
incessant and tiresom e-mails about their upcoming Gotham "Lefty Group"
lunch.
 
As if I or any of the rest of us other right-thinking Gothamites should
care.  
 
Truth be told (something I am known on occasion to tell), I am offended by
the exclusive and elitist attitude reflected in that group's ground rules.
Too elitist, I suspect, even for Barack Obama.  And who is a bigger lefty
than Obama (putting aside, of course, Rev. Wright)?
 
This all came home to me on Thursday when I attended the Women's Group lunch
as a guest and witnessed Fred whine, wheedle and elbow his way to a corner
seat so he could flail his left flank with abandon while hacking through his
meal without obstruction from a right-handed neighbor.
 
And then it dawned on my lawyerlike laser mind (I am, after all, a lawyer):
If Fred can negotiate the logistics for figuring out where to poisition
(Oops, I mean "poison") himself at a Friars Club table whose other members
are normal human beings, then the reverse must also be true.  Surely, a
"Lefty" lunch of Fred's Friars freaks can accommodate at least four normal,
right-handed Gotham members, one at each corner of its table.  (.....unless,
of course, his "Lefty" group is conspiring to exclude all the rest of us by
sitting at a table that's .....ROUND?!?)
 
As a Gothamite, I demand that the Lefty group implement an affirmative
action program and open its table to those of us on the right (subject, of
course, to a quota of no more than four for each table).  We have an equal
right (subject to that quota) to sit at the table and share the poison.
 
Unless my demand is met, sir, you'll be hearing from my lawyer.  Conduct
yourself accordingly!
 
With warmest regards,
 
Chris Lamal
