One day, when Ole had gone to town and left Lena home alone, Ole’s friend Sven dropped by. He was sitting by the kitchen table chatting with Lena, when out of the blue he said, “Lena, would you let me feel your left breast for a hundred bucks?”

Shocked, Lena said, “No, of course not.”

“Would you let me feel them both, say… for five hundred bucks?” asked Sven.

Lena thought about it. Soon she decided there would be no harm in making five hundred dollars as long as Ole never found out, so she lifted her shirt and let Sven have his fun. He handed her five one hundred dollar bills and walked out the door with a grin on his face.

Later that day when Ole got home, he came in the door and said, “Lena, did Sven drop off that five hundred bucks he owes me today?”

James Hong is trying out Radio again. My advice: Stick with it for a bit, and explore. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Also, be sure to ask questions — there are lots of folks out there who would be happy to answer.

New York Times Op-Ed: Former President Jimmy Carter makes the case that the road to peace is withdrawal of Israelis from Palestinian lands in exchange for acceptance of Israel and Israel’s right to live in peace:

“[Ariel Sharon’s] rejection of all peace agreements that included Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands, his invasion of Lebanon, his provocative visit to the Temple Mount, the destruction of villages and homes, the arrests of thousands of Palestinians and his open defiance of President George W. Bush’s demand that he comply with international law have all been orchestrated to accomplish his ultimate goals: to establish Israeli settlements as widely as possible throughout occupied territories and to deny Palestinians a cohesive political existence.

“There is adequate blame on the other side… [Yasir Arafat’s] all-too-rare denunciations of violence have been spasmodic, often expressed only in English and likely insincere. He may well see the suicide attacks as one of the few ways to retaliate against his tormentors, to dramatize the suffering of his people, or as a means for him, vicariously, to be a martyr.

“With the ready and potentially unanimous backing of the international community, the United States government can bring about such a solution to the existing imbroglio… The existing situation is tragic and likely to get worse. Normal diplomatic efforts have failed. It is time for the United States, as the sole recognized intermediary, to consider more forceful action for peace. The rest of the world will welcome this leadership.”
