Mark, where did you get that? I learned an almost identical version of "The Announcer"s Test" ( no one mentioned a Jerry Lewis connection) in the late 1950s in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Doesn't seem to be around anymore among the kids (except for my son, who can't help having a weird parent who taught him all sorts of strange stuff before he was old enough to run and hide!)
