Your reference to Sinatra reminded me of a serendipitous moment of humor that has stuck with me for decades.

I needed postage stamps, particularly the pretty Snowy Egret ones. Went to the post office and was greeted by the postmaster himself.

When he asked what I needed I said, “I’d like a book of snowy egret stamps because…..” then I lowered my head, sighed, then looked him in the eye and said “I have no Egrets.”

He cocked his head, blinked twice, and said matter of factly-“Egrets? I’ve had a few. But then again……” and he turned around and got my stamps.

With the caveat that I have never posted anything on Nude Africa or any other sex forum: if I HAD done so and those posts were made public by CNN, I would immediately cash out my retirement fund, change my name, get a facelift that rendered me unrecognizable, and move to one of those parts of Scandinavia where they don't see the sun all winter long. The same applies if I'd ever been outed for having sent demure nudes to RFK Jr. In a way, I sort of admire the mindset that allows one to just keep going in the face of such overwhelming humiliation.
