Short story idea: Fillmore Philpott, the philanthropic philatelist from Philadelphia, is in a loveless marriage with his wife, Phyllis.
Dismayed that Phyllis spends more time with her philodendrons than with him, Fillmore engages in a tawdry affair with Philippa, whom he met during a philosophical discussion of Philoctetes and Philodemus.
A philogylist to begin with, Fillmore is turned on by Philippa's intellect and ravishing good looks...
What do you think? Do Fillmore and Philippa make it in the balcony during a performance by the Philharmonic? Does Phyllis fling a philodendron pot at her philandering husband's head, or does she finally admit to her philophobia? Does Philippa succumb to filoviral hemorragic fever? What will happen?
