There are authors everywhere, selling and signing their books. Usually, they draw a little sketch, too. And sometimes they kiss the buyers. Men and women, both. I saw them. It is France, you know. I haven't kissed any guys. If you're a guy, I think you have to know another guy pretty well before you kiss him--or be selling him a book. Then it's OK. I have kissed a few French women upon introduction. You have to! They come at you, man! It'd be rude to duck. Now, I have a cold. Any doctor will tell you, though, in that respect it's no worse than shaking hands.
