"Have you got a 27b/6?"

Pronounced: 27b stroke 6

"Have you got a 27b/6?"  (2:15, clip, Brazil)

The reference to form 27B-6, without which no work can be done by Central Services, is a reference to George Orwell, who lived at 27B Canonbury Square, Apartment 6, while writing  Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Form 27b/6 here.

A Goose's Dream

Dear _____, 

As we've discussed, you know who you are, if I go over that wall before you I don't want or need service, ceremony, funeral, whatever.  While it will distress me to return work that is not perfect, just put me in the minimal container, cremate me, and dump my ashes in that secluded spot in the ___ ____ cemetery.  Vixit.

But if, just if, there's a place for a little music along the way, I'd like this version of
A Goose's Dream: Jung Dong Ha - Goose's Dream  (5:33, 2013)
--- 
This now classic often closes a concert and is fit to bow out on.  It was tough to settle upon just one.  Insooni alone has umpteen; of hers, I am particularly fond of this small, quiet one: Insooni - Goose's Dream  (5:53, ca. 2008)

And then there's the inimitable PSY.  Who also gets it right.
PSY - Goose's Dream  (7:51, 2013)

Dear _______, thank you for this e-mail.  Death will come to each of us and it is good for friends to gather together when the body has released the soul.  And our souls, though maybe briefly, meet with yours.  We both know that when our souls meet together, as the old hymn sings: "We will understand it better by and by."  I know who she is, my dearest friend.  _____
