> My all time favorite Jaffe piece is at the end of one of the Snappy Answers books. The scene is of a guard and a prisoner in the electric chair. I don’t even remember what the question was, but the final answer was absolutely perfect… \*“It’s about time you scofflaws got what you deserved…ZZZZZAAAAAPPPP!!” \*

“Did you kill someone?”

“No, I’m here for a parking violation!”

“It’s about time” etc.
