It's a variation on a classic old sketch from vaudeville days. An otherwise normal man would hear a common word and it would set him off into an insane and elaborate diatribe: "SLOOOWLY I TURN, step by step, inch by inch, ..." I think you can catch it in an old Abbott & Costello movie -- or was it a Hope & Crosby Road picture. I remember sand. Road to Morocco? A & C in the Foreign Legion? I thought I might post my Parentage diatribe again, but I let it pass... At 05:14 PM 4/14/00 -0700, you wrote: > >Dear Bill, > > This too obtuse.
