Have I lost my mind, or is this post on craigslist really cute and touching:

RE: STOLEN PEACOAT

To the person who stole my peacoat:
1. I hope you needed him more than me, he will keep you warm on days like today. When the snow is falling, when the wind is blowing, hold my peacoat close, button his buttons all the way to the top, wear a nice scarf (steal one if you don't have one)!
2. I went shopping today and this guy remembered me from a while ago and asked if I had bought one yet.....not a big deal, kinda odd, but he reminded me of my peacoatless situation which YOU created.
3. Peacoats are expensive so I didn't buy another yet. Maybe if you find a coat thats even nicer, you could return mine (no need to dry clean it) to its exact spot and then one day it will be mine again!
4. I guess in the end it doesn't matter, but I'm giving you my blessings and forgivness so that the weight of my peacoat plus your guilt doesn't make it to heavy to wear.
5. On exceptionally cold days just pop his collar and your cheeks will reap the warmth.

I don't know. Yes the poster is a bit sarcastic, but he's also resigned. Hmmmm....

1. It was cute...
I had to google "define:peacoat" first to know what was going on.

3. Why, every well dressed man has one.
Laughing. I only know because my sister gave me one and I recently rediscovered it. Hi, Omphalo! :hi:

4. Isn't that an "Overcoat"?
It's been a long time!

6. I remember something about a nose,
and another thing by B. Singer concerning the sexual act as performed by two large people. I read him when I was a teenager so the stuff that was salient then is what springs to mind now. I should check him out again & thanks for the reminder!
