In the mid-'80s, I met Eddie Sullivan. He taught martial arts to college kids
who had no idea why he thought it was funny to stalk around talking about
reeeely big shoes. I tried to make them understand that if they'd just laugh
just a little bit -- give him a receipt for his shtik -- we could all get *on*
with the class...
I think by now he's gotten over that by now....
Footnote In Case Somebody Invents an A&S Criterion for Jokes: I thought about
giving this anecdote a better punch line by saying he's changed his name to
Letterman -- but then, that kind of smartaleck stuff is just Paar for the

PS: I just reread the post from LLEW [llewmike@iwaynet.net (micheal j
hobbs)]. According to the authors of the "Joy of Cooking" [a prime, if not
primary, research source for many things] "Cockaigne" [choose one or more
spellings] is

2) the name of their familial country home [=cottage? stately home? wooded
estate?]
