Tim, one of the great things about him was a lot of the stuff he came up were really clever plays on words, or sardonic truths that pointed out absurdities.

Having run afoul of radio management on more than one occasion, I have a great deal of sympathy (or is that yhtapmys?) for Fred.

As Jack might have said,
At least Allen lived long enough to LOOK like a hundred and four!
