Testy, aren't we?
I'm well aware that everybody borrowed from everybody. Just a bit of

Testy? Yes, in a way you're right. But from your response it is clear
to me you failed the test,...to *get* the double entendre sexual
inuendo inherent in my post.

Perhaps we're even. You'll have to explain to me what was even
remotely humorous about yours. >> Stay informed about: CC on AFI Top 100 |

Not exactly a witticism worthy of Groucho. Or even the Ritz Brothers.

I bet Charlie would have thought it was funny. Or didn't he have a
sense of humor? >> Stay informed about: CC on AFI Top 100 |

Groucho was a pretty randy guy. I doubt he would have missed it so
completely as you obviously did.

Not much of an explanation, IrresoluteLad. But relying on dead guys to
'justify' your own sense of humor, now that *is* funny. (And by the
way, in his personal life Charlie *was* seen as rather humorless by
those who knew him well.) >> Stay informed about: CC on AFI Top 100 |

Oops, sorry, forgot to mention your incredibly clever play on words
with "test" and "testy". Keep it up, and you could be writing
material for twelfth-rate '60s Vegas lounge acts. >> Stay informed about: CC on AFI Top 100 |
