When I call up your good buddies, Pat Simmons and Dickie Smothers, what name
should I ask about? Certainly not that phoney one you've been posting at
the bottom. Do they know you as Barnacle Bill the Blowhard, too?



Wait, on second thought, don't mention my name to Dickie Smothers. He's
probably still mad at me. In '65 I talked him into being my financial
partner in a venture that didn't quite pan out. We had the exclusive
distribution rights for Whitworth Duct Tape imported into the USA.
never caught on for some reason.
