 Title: What Your Pizza Says About You

 WONDER what the Domino's people do when they're not rushing
 pizzas
 all over creation? They take surveys, or they say they
 do. The
 company's mighty public relations machine offers these
 observations:

 Men wearing muscle shirts when answering the door order
 pepperoni
 three times more often than any other topping.

 People who have pierced noses, lips or eyebrows ask for
 a vegetarian
 topping 23 percent more often than a meat topping. Those
 who have wind
 chimes on the porch are four times more likely than the
 average to
 want olives.

 A recurring element is the correlation between pizza-eating
 and
TV-watching. Whatever day and time ''Roseanne" airs is
 always the
 biggest half-hour of the week for meat-topped pizza orders.
 Since you
 asked, the No. 1 pizza-ordering show (figured by comparing
 orders
 during its time slot with weeks when the show doesn't
 air) is
 "Melrose Place," which is also by far the leading show
 for
 vegetable-topped pizzas. Pizza orders in the "Melrose
 Place" time
 slot have gone up 14 percent since Heather Locklear joined
 the cast.

 There's more: As you look back on 1994, trying to make
 sense of
 Newt's rise and O.J.'s fall, you may want to consider
 these other
 statistics from Domino's Since the Republicans won the
 election,
 meat-topped pizza orders have risen 32 percent in the
 Washington
 metropolitan area. Since Election Day, tipping of Domino's
 deliverers
 by Washington women has fallen off by 10 percent (except
 during
 "Melrose Place," when it climbs by 30 percent).

 Since the election, tipping by House Republicans has been
 down 12
 percent; tipping by House Democrats has been up 3 percent.
 Whenever
 Newt Gingrich appears on national television, pizza orders
 to
 Democratic offices go up 4 percent and go down 2 percent
 on the GOP
 side.

 And last, but not least The single greatest hour for pizza
 delivery in
 national pizza history was the hour when O. J. Simpson
 was in the
 white Ford Bronco on the L. A. freeways.
