Singles Men’s Swim was a popular event at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa until politics got in the way of Male Bonding. the Face of Everyman tried to interject a neutral topic but to no avail. Silent contempt was wherever one turned.
Contempt
Superstitions
It all started when they decided to investigate superstitions: Three on a match, Friday the 13th, Black Cats, Walk under a ladder, Step on a crack … Where to start? The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa didn’t lend itself to strict laboratory investigatory procedures. They’d ask the Face of Everyman after his nap.
Rat
At quarter to two the Klaxon went off alerting the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to an unwanted visitor. the Face of Everyman expected the security forces to handle the matter and that guests would shelter in place.
Woe
Cheeky was careful not to mention the obvious: that the life-giving waters at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had stopped. the Face of Everyman was well aware of the fact. It’s always something he lamented.
Art Walk
Heat
The heat in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was oppressive; even Bambi’s mother took her turn drinking from the fountain. the Face of Everyman would like to offer another source so that his naps were not interrupted.
Nirvana?
See No Evil, Speak No Evil and Hear No Evil were confused; had they at last reached Nirvana. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was as close to enlightment as Songbirds could achieve. the Face of Everyman had been there and back.
Football
College football seemed the only topic these two found worth discussing. the Face of Everyman was at a loss as to which contest to stream on the Jumbotron at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
Passport Photo
There were certain rules to follow when submitting a passport photo. the Face of Everyman was assiduous. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was the only photo studio for miles around and held an exclusive contract with the U. S. State Department.
Suet
Isabelle thanked the Face of Everyman for his choice of suet cake distributed throughout the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Attention to detail was his forte. So he thought.
