    Hey — he used to live near me … that white house with the tall palm trees…. ….. in fact, his mother led the protest against finger sandwiches in the school cafeteria.

    He was pretty handy with a hammer and nails, but not academic… always had to count on his fingers.

    And kinda rough…. got into a couple of fist fights.

    So I thought he’d grow up to be a ranch hand, like his Dad, or maybe a handyman like his Uncle Pinky.

    But look at him now — wearing a suit that fits him like a glove.

    That’s why he’s the boss. (Hit submit too soon on the last comment.)

    That word (cromulent) was invented on a Simpsons episode as a humorous neologism.

    Thank you Bubujin — and Mystery Cat too…I love the “sound of one hand clapping” line — wish I’d thought of THAT.

    I DID tastefully refrain from posting about running into him at the free clinic…

    but as no one else said it either…I’ll just let you guys figure out why he was there for yourselves.:c)
