Which Reminds Me
How many times do I have to explain that there are no Czechs at this location? I don't know the first thing about Czechs and don't understand the reason for all these not-so-funny puns about Czechs. What I need is a paycheck, not another bad pun about Czechs. Just because I, and several others obviously, once read a novel by Marcia Davenport in which the heroine, a wealthy heiress from the steel mills of Pittsburgh, loved a Czech musician, that does not mean that I ever knew personally any Czechs. Fiction has no appropriate place in this discussion of paychecks so there is nothing intelligent that I can say about these unknown Czechs with whom I have no personal acquaintance.
