*pedant alert*

Ebbie...sorry, it wasn't Bob Hope...it was Gary Cooper..and it wasn't a one word answer in THAT story..

Reporter sent Gary Cooper's agent a telegram asking "How old Gary Cooper?" Cooper was either there...or heard about it, and had the reply sent.."Old Gary Cooper fine, how you?"

(he was once asked if it was true he didn't give long interviews...he replied "Yep.")

*end pedant alert*

ok, back to all the free association
