• Ask Elsie Fae column: “At Tenth Street last Tuesday, a gang of men who run hog operations were meeting over lunch. Although the men were much too loud, the Tuesday Club (a group of sedate women) was trying to ignore them. When I accidentally squirted a package of tartar sauce all over the front of my sweater, every man at their table burst into loud laughter. Now, I think they’ve been out there with those pigs too long, because that was a swinish thing to do.”
