My daughter reminded me of a time last year when our family was in historic St. Augustine, Florida. We took a trolley tour, and all the way through the driver kept up a running commentary:
"Now, if you'll look to the RIGHT, you'll see a VERY ornate hotel. Back in 1902, if you wanted to STAY there, it would cost you two dollars a night. TWO whole dollars. Hmmm. Of course, just sleeping on the BEACH was FREE..."
My daughter Amy said, "Dad, he sounds just like--"
"Jack Benny!" I returned. "I wonder if he's from Waukegan?"
So when the tour was over, I said, "I know you get this all the time, but you sound a lot like Jack Benny."
And the driver looked at me in utter confusion. "Like WHO?"
I turned to my wife and daughter, put my hand to my face, and said, "Well!"
