Re: Counsellor at Law



From: Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>

As the name implies, the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) cable station shows
old movies all day long. While channel surfing, I often watch a minute or
two of whatever they're showing. It always seems to involve a scene with a
guy wearing a pencil-line moustache, a 3-piece suit and a fedora on his
head. Smoking a cigarette and sitting on a desk, he talks to a blonde in
the chair next to him ...

"I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desktop and reading my name on the glass of my office door: REGNAD KCIN." -- The Firesign Theatre, "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger"
