Glad I read to the end, Jim. I'll tell you why in a minute.

Love the "you and twenty million other guys". And the banking magnate story at the beginning. "Somebody's making a penny!" And you took me right back with "What's up, doc?" Talk about a line that has stood the test of time!

Now, when I got to the end, I truly snorted my coffee.

"Yakess"? Really? Genius!

Have a good day!

Indeed, Frank Jacobs was a genius, plus hilarious. He did the lyrics for all the Mad satires on musical movies, and his lines scanned perfectly. Much enjoyment from him!

Surely, this WW will be considered one of the “classics!” Dare I say, “Nun better?”

Kidding aside, going from green cheese to classic monster movies to nuns only to end up at Yakess is genius.

Love your Whimsical wanderings! It does sometimes make me wonder about you, bringing such random thoughts together. I went to buy your Force of Habit series and discovered I bought it back in 2021. It must have been pushed down the TBR queue, so I'll move it up the line!
