   From the classics update for the 21st:

   Bennett Cerf was in fact nearly old enough to have written that corny joke – his first book came out in 1932. But I don’t think he wrote his first pure “joke book” until 1944.

   Nice to see Crazy grounded again. But he’s still hurtin’.

   I wonder if Hy is going to get an invite to the wedding?

   Even with the fat bankroll, we’ll have to see how much the last of the red-hot spenders drops on this evening.

   Try “ADMIN”, Henry.

   Good morning, crew!

   So I guess Mars got the H out (of H2O), and substituted (C as in C02.)

   Here’s the classics update for the 20th:

   Walt takes a trip up to look over a lake, and dream a little dream.

   If you thought surviving a car crash off a cliff was impressive, get a load of Crazy Quilt trying to land that egg-beater.

   A nice old couple just happens by, and stops to take a look at the wreck, and they certainly didn’t expect to find such carnage.

   Pert shows up the next day and totally high-hats Wilmer and Jessica. He’s meeting Miss Melba today, who is dressed to the sixes. Now the blouse fits well, but her fur-collared coat has a little trouble staying on her shoulders.

   No Henry, it’s *where’s Hungary. Who is on first.

   Good morning, crew!

   Earth is said to have been much, much warmer in precambrian times. Seems possible that Mars went through phases during its own development?

   Of course we’re listening to an A.I. robot that seems more Arty Carney than Arty Fleming, so who knows?

   Here’s the classic comics update for the 19th:

   Walt has a milestone anniversary coming up, and he’s not going to wait until the last minute to come up with a suitably impressive gift.

   Crazy is up there, flying around… and then he decides to see what that baby can do up there. He may have wanted to be a bit less ambitious, this being his first flight and all.

   We find out what happens on the other side of the guard rail, as Lance’s rental car comes to rest. I hope he plumped for the insurance.

   On the other hand, we have no idea what may happen with Pert and Melba. But that isn’t stopping people from talking. Many fine people are talking about this.

   Ah, but I didn’t mention Mr. Cerf as a game show panelist. Though it was through watching him on “What’s My Line?” that I knew Bennett’s actual line was Publisher, at the Random House book firm.

   In addition to publishing, Cerf was also a writer, and primarily a writer of… joke books.

    I have to watch for curious doggos when I walk home from the supermarket.

    Good morning, crew!
