DEAR ABBY: The lighthearted trick, "I remember your name, but I can't think of your face," which causes the forgotten one to blurt out his name -- then laugh -- reminds me of a faux pas I made during a trip to Hawaii.
While writing postcards to the folks back home, I wrote the usual, "The scenery is beautiful, wish you were here," but I inadvertently wrote to my secretary, "The scenery is here, wish you were beautiful."
Luckily, she forgave me. -- GORDON MARTEN, GRASS VALLEY, CALIF.
