"The Parachute Jump, kinda like Coney Island's Eiffel Tower."
"It is surreal, the dark blocks of the projects against this
architecture of fun."
"The Ferris wheel and that obelisk from the rococo room, now
that was surreal."
He kicked the sand just as Ula caught up to them grasping her
hat, and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Architecture and Surrealism."
"Sandro's an idiot, he doesn't know anything about architecture
or Surrealism, ask Dick."
"Stop calling him an idiot, a fool, maybe. How do you put up
with it?" Penny asked Sandro.
"Oh, he loves it. Don't you darling?" Ula hooked her arm in his.
"Funcullo," He muttered, shrugging her off and slapping out

windswept piles of food wrappers.
"Hey Penny, you do know about the G-spot, at least."
"I'm not an expert on gravitational physics, sorry. This about
levitation?"
Ula slowly shook her head."G-spot. G-spot."
"Ok, that must be like the G-factor, Charles Spearman's mental
aptitude test based on factor analysis for measuring core intelligence, I
went through it myself a long time ago. It's all in Arthur Jensen's 1998
