ANGRY? WHO, BOB? NAH
WHEN NOONSKI HAD TO WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING HE ALWAYS HAS WITH HIM IT WAS EASY. HIS TOPIC WAS SORT OF FREUDIAN, AND NOT REALLY A SURPRISE TO SOME PEOPLE WHO MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HIM. NOONSKI LEAPED TO THE TASK:
"WELL, I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE AN AGGRAVATION WITH ME. IT VARIES FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT AT THE MOMENT IT IS THIS GOLDEN, ITCHY, SCRATCHY METALLIC WATCH WITH THE STRETCH BAND. IT HAS A
DIAL YOU CAN LIGHT UP BY PUSHING A BUTTON. PART OF THE AGGRAVATION IS THAT I CAN SEE THE DIAL IN THE DAYTIME AND HAVE THE STRESS OF THE REALIZATION THAT I AM PAYING FOR SOMETHING I DON'T NEED.
I LONG, BUT NOT FOR LONG, FOR MY NICE BIG POCKET WATCH WITH A LARGE DIAL WHICH WAS NICE EXCEPT THAT I NEVER COULD GET IT OUT OF THE TINY WATCH POCKET PROVIDED IN THOSE CHINTZY BLUE SERGE PANTS WE WORE IN DEPRESSION DAYS. SO YOU SEE, MY AGGRAVATIONS ARE OF LONG STANDING----MAYBE THAT'S WHY I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE."
