All The Earmarks Of A Slowvertaker

We were standing in the kitchen, when the announcer of TVs Three for the Money, Jack Clark blurted out, “Aside from their behavior, I can’t tell the difference between chimpanzees and bonobos.” We all stood motionless, mouths wide open for at least two or three solid minutes as the announcer of TVs Three for the Money, Jack Clark shifted restlessly, embarrassed. We were all clearly stunned and appalled by this admission. Even if it was true, this was not something you should bring up in mixed company.

Finally, after stewing in uneasy silence for so long, Vic Tayback took the initiative and changed the subject. I don’t remember, something about turkeys.
