HAHAHA...Guest F.****B., one time I became rather Dublious , m'self, in Dublin...of course that was long ago, ahem...Speaking of ancient history, in 1969 it was reported that New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Mario Proccacino, advised by an aide that his speeches were too "corny", replied: "Corn is in the Ear of the Beholder." To combat his racist reputation, he is said to have told a Harlem audience, "My heart is as black as yours."
