“When my young assistant Jim was being attacked by the boa constrictor, he felt the squeeze. To be sure your family never feels the squeeze when you die like Jim is going to, here’s a word from Mutual of Omaha…” OK, he never really said that but he could have.
Even as a child I recognized that Jim was a little too dedicated to his TV show than was good for his safety and/or had way too much confidence in Marlin’s good judgment.
