That reminds me of a comic, I believe on the old Jack Paar Tonight Show, whose real name 
escapes me, but he played a character called Charlie Weaver.  He would read letters from 
his mother back in Mount Idy, who described the local goings-on.  One running gag was 
about the woman who had a metal plate in her head.  One day she was struck by lightening, 
and ever since, she has gotten television on her glasses.  

No, I didn't get to stay up late to watch the Jack Paar Tonight Show.  But there was a book 
of Letters from Mount Idy, which I got out of the library.
