SMART TALK
By
Dr. Winton
"Windy" Prolix
LIVE AND IN PERSON: The
staff of the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired gets raucous when they
watch TV in the Fowler Lounge some evenings.
"As opposed to dead and in
person?" yells Clara Dix.
"Why not? Remember
the Grateful Dead?" Garrell S. Utter replies.
"Maybe it's opposed to live but not really here, like
Alaska's Senator Gravel," offers Shirley Glibb. The room falls silent while everyone tries to remember who that
is. "Well, I was just trying to help."
Gabby Johnson is Republican, so he changes the subject to prerecorded in front of a live studio audience.
"Hey, look, Leno has a dead
studio audience tonight," cracks Laconia Crisp.
