тАЬPardon me,тАЭ I put in, reaching toward the blond coffee table for my
cell phone. тАЬIтАЩd best call the Slesinger to report these hallucinations.тАЭ

тАЬRelax, dimbulb,тАЭ advised my right knee. тАЬYou ainтАЩt goofy. What they
implanted, unbeknownst to you, chum, are some very state-of-the-art
artificial knees. Or rather not they but Dr. Wallace Dowling.тАЭ

тАЬDowling?тАЭ I frowned, putting the phone down. тАЬHeтАЩs not my
physician.тАЭ

тАЬWere you awake during the operation, pal?тАЭ

тАЬWell, no, butтАФтАЭ

тАЬDowling took over after you shuffled off to dreamland.тАЭ

тАЬDr. Dowling is a very nice man,тАЭ said my left knee. тАЬWeтАЩre starting to

тАЬHow can you look at me?тАЭ I wanted to know. тАЬKnees donтАЩt have the
power of vision.тАЭ

тАЬWeтАЩre using your eyes, dopey. When you looked in the bathroom
mirror this morning, we took a gander,тАЭ explained my knee. тАЬGot a look at
your missus, too. Jeez, is she going to seed. Only forty-nine, too. SheтАЩs
going to be a real blimp by the time sheтАЩs your age.тАЭ
