DURST: People in This World

April 26, 2000

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those of us who split the world into two kinds of people and those who don't. Since I'm one of the former, here's more examples.* People who eat pizza with a fork, and the rest of us who shovel itinto our mouths with hands, elbows and table legs. * People who read USA today and people who read it but refuse toadmit it.* The vast group of ordinary Americans who actually work for a livingand their elected representatives.* People who find Carrot Top funny and people who have yet to undergoelectro shock therapy.* Those of us whose entry into the technological age has movedsmoothly and those who use AOL.* People who enjoy sports contests and Raiders fans.* Folks with a modicum of simple human civil courtesy and the French.* Those that listen to Michael Bolton records and those withfunctioning intact ear drums.* Folks to whom the smell of urine is unpleasant and New Yorkers.* Regular readers who devour every page of each month's issue ofVanity Fair and those of us with a life. * Normal human beings with an aversion to telling outright lies whilestaring directly into peoples faces and tobacco lobbyists. * Married men who learn to choke back some of their ego and tough itthrough the hard times and Larry King.Fine decent caring people and Will Durst.
