I've heard that bananas have been so hybridized and domesticated that they're barely even bananas any more. But I like the slippery-peeled critters all the same. Laugh-In? Arte Johnson? Yup. Remember both well (long term memory is fine; short term memory is..... what was I saying???). Whenever possible, we'd watch Laugh-In on Sunday evenings on the TV machine our friendly and war-like US Gov't supplied us with in the dayroom of the barracks. Then they foolishly made me an NCO, and I got to move into NCO quarters where there wasn't a dayroom. Those were tough times, Cork-El!

Somebody say 'blueberries'? Mmmmmmm!

Seasonings & greetings right back atcha, Corky.

I'm sure they were tough times, Cany. I missed serving by certainly no more than a few days as I had already taken the physical exam and had heard from two of the branches of service and was expecting a draft notice any day. I was planning to sign with the National Guard probably the next day because my good friend that I worked that was in the Guard had already talked with them about me when someone at work said that President Kenedy had just signed an executive order saying that married people would be exempt from the draft. A little later in the day, I received a call from home saying that a Marine Recruiter was at our home and would like to talk with me. When I mention the executive order to him he said that "it was news to him"...Nice morning outside at dawn with temps around 26 and heavy fog over the river. I went outside to feed the wildlife and two rabbits greeted me along with a few squirrels as I also scattered some corn in the shallow water for the ducks. I then moved to the front of our lot and scattered corn and cut up apples for the doe deer and her two twins that pay us a visit each morning. Tough life! Take care.

We no longer purchase bananas, Cany as I became tired of throwing them away and now substitute blueberries which are said to be more nutritious!... The earlier joking about what name to call me made me think of Arte Johnson which was part of the old Laugh-in Show that was on TV many years ago. The script went something like when a man introduced him as Mr. Johnson he came back with something like "You can me Ray, you can call me Raymond J. You can call me R. J., you can call me R. J. J., or you can even call me R. J. J. Jr., but you doesn't have to call me Johnson" He really had some hilarious skits on their program over the years and in googling his name I also found that he died July 3rd of this year at the age of 90. On a lighter note, I hope that you guys have a wonderful holiday season and take care.

That bit was Bill Saluga’s signature act. If Arte used it, I’m sure Mr. Saluga had to give him the license to do so. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qoYsfbq3vMc

It was duck when it was invented during WWI - made with duck cloth. Duct was, I think, a brand name that has become generic.


Somebody made ducks into cloth? During WWI? Whoa, jeez! Bet the ducks of the time weren't overly enthused about that. They're probably just as displeased about the concept now, regardless whether its branded 'duck' tape or 'duct' tape. Quack, indeed!

Those bananas look good on the table, but would look even better in a banana creme pie! Especially if it were parked on the table in front of me.
