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.
