Where's Anna?

When I was a young girl I was employed as door-to-door candy sales girl. The boss would pick up us child employees and drive us to different areas to sell our candy. One warm sunny afternoon I approached a group of houses in a dead-end street. As I neared the houses I witnessed a man look at me and then turn on his heels and run quickly into his home. I took this to mean the gentleman did not want to buy any of my candy. However, I was a stubborn child and I wanted to bother him because I took his behaviour as being quite rude, so I decided to knock on his door anyway. I knocked once and waited for one minute before knocking again. As I knocked for the second time I saw a figure walking down the internal stairs towards me. I was struck by the oddness of the figure I saw through the screen. Something was not quite right ladies and gentleman. He was naked. He stood in front of the screen door but did not attempt to open it. I, being an astute child, suspected that this man hoped me to flee in horror, but, being a stubborn child, I declined to give him the satisfaction of such a reaction. Instead, I proceeded to ask him if he would like to buy some candy. To my surprise he answered in the affirmative. He picked his candy then went to get some money to pay (of course he had no pockets). He paid for his candy, openning the door only slightly and I gave him his sweets.

My question to you is: what is the correct etiquette when faced with a naked man answer the door?

In most cultures is generally considered polite to look downwards, raise an eyebrow and murmur "you poor thing", in fact it is most impolite not to.

I usually hear... "Awwww, isn't that CUTE? I looks like a real penis only smaller".

I would prefer if they gasped in astonishment and blushed slightly but the only time their face turns red is when they are laughing so hard that they cannot catch their breath.

I NEVER answer the door naked...unless, of course, they are Jehova's Witnesses.

Quite right, good man, quite right.

One answer to seeing a naked man at the door ( or to insult the guy in the next urinal ) is "I see she married you for money"
Guys, dont try this when you have just started and the other guy has almost finished!!

In Canada, we have a cadbury chocolate bar called Mr. Big, created for these very moments, I think.

Dear me. First Anna asks where she might find her authentic self and now she gives evidence of confusion regarding her own whereabouts. This is becoming serious enough to warrant action, or at least activity. Preferably non-aerobic.

Although I am possibly the least best equipped person in the world to say where Anna might be, that is no reason to stop typing. Typing qualifies as activity and I am determined to help Anna in any way that doesn't require either time, money or genuine effort.

If I were Anna, the first place i would look for myself would be at the roots of my appendages. I recommend this because torsos are bulky and solid and show up better in dim light than, for example, my mind. The mind is a shy thing that prefers dimness. Or rather, I shoudl say my mind. When playing word-association games, "mind" and "dim" fit together as snugly as "dim" and "sum".

Back to torsos - by which I do not wish to speak of the backs of torsos - those hideous expanses of moles, freckles and pasty-white skin - not Anna's, of course, but those backs belonging to other parties whose names shall remain nameless. Now where was I?

Ah, yes, torsos. I have nothing of interest to say about torsos, apart from certain protuberances. Anna's may be taken as a typical specimen. In fact, it's very typicality may cause problems for Anna, who, once she has located a torso at the roots of her appendages, may be in some lingering doubt as to whether the torso attached thereto is indeed her own or that of some utterly typical woman who may have come to the door. Naked or not.

This is about as far as I can go in answering Anna's question today. The fruit flies make it impossible to continue further today. But rest assured, Anna shall be found, even if it takes weeks of circuitouos wandering.

Circuitouos wandering only leads you down the same path, time and time again, returning you always to the place marked, "START".

Miss Spelling aside, you realize this is only an excuse for Aimless to wallow in the Wallowas, right?

Whenever my brain and my hopelessly stubby and overly knuckly fingers have a disagreement as to the proper spelling of a word, my fingers tend to rule the day.

Compounded by the chirping of the tree frogs.

And doubtless the reply would be affirmative, for who could resist?
