            My attractive female neighbor is *completely*
            paranoid. She thinks I'm following or even
            stalking her, she is worried that I may be
            obsessed with her and any time she hears
            a noise in her house she’s ...purified? Oh, no,
            wait: *petrified*. Sorry, it's not easy reading
            a diary through binoculars from a tree.

            Groucho Marx, though, I know *exactly* what he was
            doing in my pajamas. Under the terms of the plea bargain,
