Hi cybrgeezer,
Thanks for the reminder. When I read your post this morning, it sent me to You Tube.
I remember seeing Victor Borge on television when I was a little girl. I also remember thinking he was hilarious at the time. I guess that is when my parents first realized that I probably would not grow up to be Marie Curie.
What taps our individual sense of humor is interesting to me. The other day I ended up with one of those weird nerve pinch things somehow. I tried to stretch it out. I tried to hottub it out. I tried to Advil it out. Nothing was working so I looked up the symptoms on the internet, of course, and diagnosed myself with a little sciatica.
The article I read said that sometimes it helps to walk around with the foot on the affected side pointed far outward. So I did. And it did. But while I was walking like that, a lot, long steps, kind of fast, around my house, around my yard, around my patio, all I could think of was Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks."
At a little party the other night, a conversation turned to Monty Python skits where I learned about "The Tobacconist," one that I had missed. It is the one where the guy purposely writes a translation dictionary by using outrageous phrases instead of the real translations. So I watched that one on You Tube, too.
Oh my goodness. Here I am digressing away this morning -- imagine that. And all I started out to do was to say thank you for the reminder about Victor Borge and share this link to his punctuation routine.
