Well,  satire usually is ;-)

When I wrote that,  I was thinking of Nichelle Nichols' comment about
her role in the original Star Trek: "They combined their token black
and their token female,  and made her a telephone operator".

I was also thinking (to keep this on-topic for at least one group :-)

I hadn't,  but I just bought a WW service pack for the cowperson hats and
neckerchiefs,  so your timing is perfect.  Thanks for the idea.
