all in the I

It is said, by a friend of mine, that

in Sydney, people look like they suntan and go to the gym.

In Melbourne, people look like they read books.

There was a discernible surplus of girthage in Melbourne...

we think the Melbournians might not read books,

they might devour them.

ha-HA! We were right!

(sometimes i'm not sure if it's in "the eye of the beholder"

or in "the I of the beholder")
