  1. hirsute. i should have just said furry. but them maybe i am presuming wrongly. come to think of it, haven’t seen the biffers in shorts or whatnot, so i have no idea. i’m getting him confused with the gertler again.

  2. I’ve come to believe that tolerance for heat is part “psychological conditioning”.

    I’m always amazed when you look at photos of NY in the 20’s,including Coney Island. Folks are dressed in a suit, and no one looks like they are sweating it. On the other hand, folks wear shorts and tank tops today, and they look exasperated.

    BTW, here is another “Benson trademark”: I almost NEVER wear shorts. I put on shorts perhaps once or twice a year, when I go to my brother’s shore house. You will never see me walking around Park Slope in shorts.

    My reason is simple: many people look gross in shorts. I wish they would look at themselves in the mirror before they step out of the house. How could I advise them not to wear shorts, if I don’t do the same?

    I know, I’m strange.
