Books in the gutter
Ringo writes:
When I was in high school, back in the Neolithic Age, girls used to carry their books cradled in both arms like a baby and boys carried theirs in one hand at their sides like a spear. (Not my imagery. I read about it somewhere.)
I don't know if they still do that (or even if they still use books) but I suppose it's a related phenomenon.
Yep, I remember that. It felt strange carrying books down to one side with one hand. (Had to try). Always wondered about that difference.
Of course, one couldn't sneak up behind a girl and push the books out of her hand as you could the way the boys carried them.
Maybe it does deal with instincts. Very interesting.
Yeah I know how that is. I had my books knocked out of my hand back in 1963. One book , the one on the bottom of the pile that was fully in my hand had the cover and fist 20 or so pages torn apart. I wound up having to pay for it, a cool 10 bucks which was a lot for a 15 year old back then.
