"But DZER, how did you know he was a transvestite hooker if he wasn't in his work clothes?"
Well, kiddos, Guam is a small place, and my village, Anigua, is an even smaller place. The person in question is a neighbor, who lives in a nearby apartment building and plies his/her trade at a skanky strip club across the main road. I know this because have previously seen him in her workclothes -- if you stop by the gas station near the strip club on your way home from a late night of poker, you often see these operators, who solicit very drunk people, often members of the Armed Forces, coming out of the club.
So THAT's how I knew. Happy? LOL
"DZER, what is a pica pole?"
This is a pica pole. It's a tool of the newspaper trade -- or at least it used to be before we went almost entirely digital. A pica is a unit of measuring; newspaper column widths are measured in picas. The usual formats are: 9-pica, 11-pica, and 14-pica columns. It also measures inches, as newspaper column lenghts are measured in inches. Being a metal ruler, they also are used by editors to lay out newspaper pages on paper dummies, resulting in nice, crisp, straight lines.And Mimi, I'm sorry to report to you that it does NOT vibrate. LOL

Since when did they move away from the Bank of Hawaii? That's where I used to drop off drunken Military guys looking for Shnooser when I was bar-hopping the Island
I learned more in this post than I did in the 7 hours I spent at school today. Thanks Deeze!

Thanks for clearing that up for us sweetie! :)
I once went to the presentation of the pica awards - for printers (my then-partner had won a gold one). One the little gold statue is the word PICA written in mirror image - like letterpress!
Well, it seemed funny at the time.
