p.s. there is a rhyme for “orange”! My 14-year old son says you can rhyme “door hinge” with the historically rhyme-challenged fruit. I feel so relieved, I mean, in the sense that the word “orange” is no longer alone, without a rhyming friend. If you write “door hinge” in large, black letters during the one segment of your routine where Austin is reading the poem, and a collective, puzzled hush grips the audience, he can hold up the card and, once and for all, prove that there is a word that rhymes with “orange!” Let’s educate the masses, historically and grammatically!!!

You know, 100 years ago they cured such lunacy as you 3 displayed last evening at Chico State with a chic, oyster-colored jacket, with a mid-waist belt, and sleeves that tied around the back! After the show, I still had red, teary eyes from laughing hysterically. I walked into a local supermarket and the clerk noticed my condition. I told her, “I’ve been crying all night.” “I’m so sorry”, she replied. “Has someone in your family passed away?” I said, “No, not at all. I just watched 2 hours of The Reduced Shakespeare Company!” Fantastic job! And my wife thinks I’m nuts! Keep the intellectual humor coming. God knows we could use it! But, then, He knows everything!
