While our literary hero, Geoffrey Delicatecharacter, is still on the mend (see Season 2, Episode 12, The Abraham Lincoln Joke Book), his flannel-wearing, Bud-drinking twin brother Norman fills in again this week, treating us to an excerpt from A Sensitive Liberal's Guide to Life by The Uptight Seattleite. Norman usually approaches the books Geoffrey has selected for him with disdain, but this passage on how to hug another man seems to have Norm genuinely amused. The Uptight Seattleite was a column the once ran in RFT's sister paper, Seattle Weekly.
