My dog's got no nose!

How does he smell?

Terrible!

Hi, I wanted to input that the demise of vaudeville _and_ the demise of TV variety shows came a lot quicker in the U.S. than in the U.K. When I was stationed in Scotland with the USN in the early 90s, I enjoyed watching the variety shows on the Beeb and ITV. I'm sorry to see that they are no more, as I believe that they are a viable form of entertainment. Look at reruns, like The Carol Burnett Show - still popular 20 years after going off the air.

This is why I get involved in community theater wherever I get stationed, because people still do want to see musical theatre, and melodramas, and "retro" theatre.

"Vot iz it, dot has two legs, hass fedders all ofer it, und barks like a dog?"

>I dunno, what is it?<

"A chicgen."

>Why, a chicken doesn't bark like a dog!<

"I know - I chust pudt dot in to make it hardt!"

Cheers, all - M'Gurk
