Lolita: Hot time, summer in the city. Rita: Well, I don’t know about this global warming—this spring was the coolest in the passed 60 years. Lolita: That only means it will have to get extra hot this summer to average out the yearly temperature. Rita: You’re probably right, but I should consult the Farmers’ Almanac. Lolita: Why do we need meteorologists giving weather reports on TV when we could have some personality read from the Farmers’ Almanac? Rita: Good question, and just in case your averaging-out theory holds up, we better look into how we are going to beat the heat. So Lolita, you know what to do. Lolita: What? Move to where pigs wear lipstick? Rita: No, I mean, you know what to do—ask the Question of the Month. Lolita: Right, I get it. Oh, excuse me sir, do you know where I can pick up the Farmers’ Almanac? Rita: No! That’s not the right question. Ask our friends to tell us what they do to beat the heat. Lolita: All right all ready. But there’s no reason to make it a violent question. I could ask them how they avoid the heat. Rita: Just go ask. You’re wasting valuable column lines.
