What, They Couldn't Find a Middle-Aged Guy to Talk About His Prostate Acting Up?

THE BEST person-on-the-street quote of the new year is courtesy the Inquirer, which offers this in its obligatory warm-winter front-page story today:

"I just don't like it," complained Lucille Sisti, 63, a retired schoolteacher from Drexel Hill who was lunching in West Philadelphia yesterday. "I have hot flashes and I need cold."

I guarantee you someone on the desk almost peed himself laughing when he read that quote last night.

It's stories like this that make me glad we have a host of fine reporters well acquainted with the city instead of a bunch of wire stor...guys, where'd you go?

Please be careful who you make fun of, since someone in the vicinity of that woman's age supplies your meatballs and gravy, and occasional babysitting services!
