I find it most interesting that you present this important message to these Boards as if it were a joke. As clear as MUD they say don’t they?

Rest assured to those of us who know what you’re talking about , your exposition is a valued contribution to the Oz- theme. The wizard, the muppets, Frank, the brand of light-bulbs, it all fits doesn’t it?

You don’t think people will pick up on the homophonic pun implied in a communique from an [Ozzie](http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/oswald.jpg) to a [Canadian](http://www.paulsann.org/img/photo/jfk.gif)?

You don’t know Jack, Ruby-Slippers or no.  
BTW, give my regards to his nibbs.

([Worzel Gummidge Down Under](http://www.worzelgummidge.currantbun.com/page13.htm) was much better than the first series, FWIW.)
