If you have walked into a museum lately-- whether you did so to attend an art exhibition or to escape from the police-- you may have noticed a type of painting known as a triptych. A triptych has three panels, with something different painted on each of the panels. For instance, my friend Professor Reed made a triptych for me, and he painted fire on one panel, a typewriter on another, and the face of a beautiful and intelligent woman on the third. The triptych is called "What Happened to Beatrice" and I cannot look yupon it without weeping.

"Besides getting several paper cuts in the same day or receiving news that someone in your family has betrayed you to your enemies, one of the most unpleasant experiences in life is a job interview. ...I once had a very difficult job interview in which I had not only to explain that I could hit an olive with a bow and arrow, memorize up to three pages of poetry, and determine if there was poison mixed into a cheese fondue without tasting it, but I had to demonstrate all these things as well." -The Carnivorous Carnival
