unearths some literary gems.
From Life, Jan.-Apr. 1927:
***
A "scientific Nemesis" is no fun to have around the house. [Benchley]
***
You can't frighten people by shouting "Boo" at them if they have seen you coming a hundred yards away or if you aren't very good at shouting "Boo." [ditto]
***
Notes on a couple of the attachments:
1. They completely missed out on using a "baby grands" gag in the piano cartoon! (Do I Have to Do Everything Myself? dept.) The term goes back to the 19th c., so no excuse on that account.
2. LOL/ouch to that Benchley quip about Baker's Plays (publishers of The Can of Yams). (:v>
