I worry because your stance is always 'Looking Forward' ....

Does it never occur to you that someone may be sneaking up behind ...

And that the someone may have evil intent?

Howdy Bryan,

Haven't you noticed that in horror movies, the person that looks back is
the one that trips, falls down and gets "done in" first?

Or are you the one trying to trip me up, instead?

Perhaps I should start wearing a mask on the back of mey head?

"Earlier, management measures including the use of human face masks on
the back of the head to deter tigers (which usually attack from the rear),
appeared to be reducing the toll."

I am certainly a carnivore, hopefully worthy of preservation.

And who know what evil lurks in the hearts of men (and women)?

This is all why I sit with my back against the wall, but still ...

Phew, Denco!

I can't tell you how relieved I am to learn that you have got all the
angles covered ...

Or have you?

You have probably forgotten that I am an Angle, well an Anglo-Sexton, at least.

And as Angle is an anagram of Angel ... maybe I am now fluttering
above your head ...

You can never be sure!

Please keep looking forward ...

While I am on the wing.

Looking Downward

It's ok Denco, I've got your back!

I, too, have often wondered if Denco's "Looking Forward" was always
the right stance, especially when his clarification signaled "cut and
run", to use a marine expression.
It may be reassuring to know that Cynthia has got his back, but often
the tagline has suggested a stiff-upper-lip attitude more appropriate
to the Charge of the Light Brigade:  "Cannon to right of them,
                 Cannon to left of them,
                 Cannon in front of them"
                                    Tennyson

You crack me up, Bryan!!!

But Cynthia ... who has your back?

Myoarin - I prefer Egan and Rafferty (Stealers Wheel) to Tennyson.

Hopefully, stuck in the middle with y'all.

I like Denco's attitude. I subscribe to the Satchel Paige philosophy: 
"Don't look back - somebody might be gaining on you."

Much, much thanks for the kind words, 5 star rating and (as always)
most generous tip, Bryan.

But, why does the thought of you being on wing on high remind me of
a childhood rhyme that ends with "I'm just glad that cows can't fly."?

Mind in the gutter, denco-ga

Sorry to hijack the question probono, but this might interest you.

Brilliant, thx1138, Very Many Thanks!

Incidentally, there was a file on Lothar Witzke, his henchman,
released into The National Archives last Monday.

I haven't seen it yet but I hope to soon.

All the Very Best

Bryan
