   I forgot about the other three flight crew members. “Supplied by the NTBS” Sure they were. San Fransisco has a huge Asian population. I bet they were doing damage control for the next year.

7. My brother and some of his Christian roommates back in the 70’s once wanted to list their phone number as Joy Tearza which backwards is Tears of Joy, but the phone company wouldn’t allow it. The best prank phone call when we were kids way before caller ID was to randomly call someone and ask if they had Prince Albert (pipe tobacco) in a can and then say well let him out. Or to ask if their refrigerator was running, then they’d better catch it before it runs away.

10. The only good show on NPR had the best sponsor: Car Talk, brought to you by the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe. It made Click & Clack, the Tappet Brothers, laugh every time, so I had to giggle along with them.

11. Better yet at the end of Car Talk they always had funny names for some of their servants like their Russian chauffeur Pickup Andropoff and other funny names. My favorite is still from old Woody Woodpecker cartoons with Wally Walrus playing the Russian ambassador Ivan Awfulitch.

12. Remember Boris Badinoff on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show?

    And the famous author of “Under the Bleachers” – Seymour Butts.

    Who could forget the top 10 tune “Rusty Bedsprings” written by I P Nightly.

14. You forgot the classic book title of Yellow River by I P Freely. Who says that 3rd grade jokes can’t still be funny. We always called it Under the grandstands by I Seymour Butts.
