Comment | @Selkie: You remind me of the one about the old boy who left a small West Texas community shortly after WWII to go to New York City to seek his fortune. Anyway, this old boy had been gone for about six months and his mother got worried about him, because he had not written her. She did not know if he was alive or dead. One day she heard another young man was going to New York City so she got in touch with him. She said, My son went to New York City about six months ago and Ive not heard from him. If you see him, please tell him to write his mother. The young man asked, Whats his name? She said, John Dunn.
A few weeks later this second young man was walking down the street in New York City, looked up and saw a sign on the building across the street that said, Dunn and Bradstreet. He thought to himself, This must be where John is, so he walked across the street, went in the front door and the receptionist greeted him, saying, May I help you? He said, "Do you have a John here?" She nodded her head and said, "Down the hall, second door on the left." He went down the hall and in the door, just as a man was coming out of one of the stalls. He asked him, "Are you Dunn?" The man said, Yes. So the boy from West Texas said to him, Write your mother, turkey.
