Larry quotes:



"Meanwhile, Richard Parker Bowles, brother of Camilla's ex-husband,

Andrew, said that from the beginning Camilla approved of Charles'

marrying Diana while she remained his power mower."

Richmond Times-Dispatch, quoted in

New Yorker, 1.22/95, p. 83

Let me be your power mower/

Till your push mower comes home?



Is there a problem here? You're not suggesting she should've remained his

paramour? In Baltimore, where I grew up, hon, you cut the lawn with a

paramour. Except for a few old guys who'd cut the lawn with a pushmour

when they weren't sitting on the porch in their undershirts drinking

National beer ...
