The tidbits that follow -- I call them aphorisms, or slithers are an accumulation of the oddest, partly realistic, partly fanciful, partly products of dreams and the imagination, yet always hopeful occurrences between him and her, her and him, him and him, her and her, him and them, them and him, and them: her and them, and all of them you can imagine, presented, like life, in random order. The slithers are numbered, so that you can quickly find your favorites, by psychological incli- nation, be you a thin- ker, a person with strong feelings, a realist or person with imagination, or a mix of them all.
