One of the earlier posts reminded me of this simple, comedic, solo (or group) gender bender, done with a paper napkin folded and pinched in the form of a bow: Bow held as moustache, deep voice: You must pay the rent, you must pay the rent, you must pay the rent today! Bow held to side of head, falsetto: I can't pay the rent, I can't pay the rent, I can't pay the rent today! Bow held as moustache, deep voice, more threatening: You must pay the rent, you must pay the rent, you must pay the rent today! Bow held to side of head, falsetto, more tremulous, on the edge of tears: I can't pay the rent, I can't pay the rent, I can't pay the rent today! Bow held as moustache, deep voice, ferociously trimphuant: You must pay the rent, you must pay the rent, you must pay the rent today! Bow held at throat, as bow tie, heroic tenor: I'll pay the rent! Bow held to side of head, falsetto, squealing in love and gratitude: My hero! Bow held as moustache, in angry aside: Curses! Foiled again! Charles
