One does have dignity.<br /><br />Whilst undoubtedly unpleasant when someone jumps you (I have been "relieved" of my goods twice within the last few days - don't ask, I am fine, no physical harm, even a church mouse is now better off than me) I don't understand the hysteria. Or to put it more mildly, and it makes you think: Grown adults frightened of a mask? I am not poo pooing it since you don't know who is behind the mask and what their intention is. It sure isn't funny. I, usually absent minded, jump out of my skin when someone suddenly appears in the corridor of my abode. Not only is he the Angel, he looks like an Angel. "I live here", he says.<br /><br />Spare a thought for Carnival in Venice, John.
