Charlie, aka, J. Alfred?

I got an interesting comment to the entry I wrote about Charlie that immediately got me wondering: what would T.S. Eliot have made of that ad? Was Charlie, in fact, none other than an earlier version of J. Alfred Prufrock? My imaginative commenter saw Charlie as a lonely, bespectacled accountant, and maybe she's got it right. Too shy to force the moment to its crisis, perhaps Prufrock could have asked the overwhelming question...in a newspaper personal?

I love it! I LOVE IT!

Keep the comments coming...this is where inspiration lies, people.
