My brain = porridge

I've not had a good memory since I was hit in the head by two tonnes of taxi in the '90s, it's like a library after a cyclone up there. So I rely on external sources.

Does anyone have any idea who I am talking about when I say that I vaguely remember the story of a French woman who was so disgusted at the treatment she was receiving in a meeting that she silently took the hat of the man who was oppressing her, squatted over it and urinated freely.

I had a vague idea it was Colette or Anais Nin, but Google is no help, and the brain? She is porridge. In fact this woman may not even be French. Though she is definitely a woman. Or was, she could be mouldering by now.

Anyone?

she only urinated? she should've done part two. :)

Sadly, I have no idea. But I'll be checking back to see who does. ;)

I have heard that story told of Anais Nin, but have no way to confirm that.

I was just now told by one of my French staffers that she also was reported to have brought herself to climax at a dinner table at which Henry Miller, Salvador Dalhi and Pablo Picasso were all present with their wives. Now there's a real star for you!

What does it say about my brain that the first thought that popped into my head was: hey, isn't that like some old law where a more than 6 months pregnant woman is apparently allowed to pee inside a policeman's helmet if she needs the toilet?
Also since I'm an uncultured swine I have no idea who Anais Nin is. Don't kill me. However that is going to be remedied very shortly.

reminds me of an act at the melbourne fringe festival once....
Are you sure you're not mixing up bastille day with performance art?

I don't know either, but, as usual, I had great fun reading the comments. *G*

I have to say that at least you have a taxi to blame. What are those of us who have no brain and no taxi supposed to do? :(

Consequently I am diddly squat use on the french bint peeing in the beret.

If you haven't been reduced to eating out of date white cooking chocolate buds, you're having a more constructive day than I am. :D
