George Santos used to call me up whenever he got in a pickle about lying and I’d always give him a few suggestions how he might try some different lies to get out of it. ---

In 1982, Betty Rubble asked me out on a date. I graciously declined, what with her being married and all. The next day, Barney showed up at my door, irate. Apparently she had told him I had made a pass at her, and he wasn’t hearing a word I tried to tell him. He kicked my ass literally all the way across town. Who’d a thought he had it in him to do something like that? ---

This might be the time, then, to mention that I defeated Baby Huey in a duel, pistols at down, ten paces. Foghorn Leghorn was my second, and the Tasmanian Devil was BH’s. ---

I have studied stalactites extensively and have written several papers which are highly regarded in speleology circles. Yet if you asked me about stalagmites, I wouldn’t know what you were talking about. ---
