Why Not Try?
 When you see a small pack of dogs tethered outside a store, why not help yourself to one? They're just sitting there, after all. When ordering a sandwich at the deli, why not ask for one kind of filling while pointing to another? Well, why not? You only live once. And if the impish souls behind this suggestion factory have their way, you will soon be indulging in all sorts of mischievous and impudent forms of behavior—or at least, snickering at the thought of it. From boisterous noisemaking to silent make-believe, a range of possibilities is just waiting for your commitment. So go ahead, shout "I'm fine, I'm fine" each time you sneeze, sprinkle some trumped-up vocabulary among your everyday words (we're not too whyumphant to suggest it), and effect weariness with the phone. Along the way, you might just fall in love with one of the rascally writers, too: Leila Johnston, will you be ours? Why not try?
