L M Boyd riffs on ancient Greece and modern quirks. He recalls Sophocles at age ninety defending his finances in court, boxing champ John L Sullivan's 75 round 1889 victory, army ants' 17 day marches, and oddities about months, engagements, insomnia, and laws in Japan.
The column notes the era’s style with a prudent wolf metaphor as a shopper cuts ahead in a supermarket queue. A hungry woman grabs cat food, offers a dollar, and asks to cut in, the polite reply granting her priority without delay.
