I am not sure that Fran MEANT it that way, either, chas. I'm just glad it didn't offend you accidentally. I know their are some neighborhoods where he is from where something like this MIGHT have gotten a far more serious response A lot of people WON'T give you the benefit of the doubt about something so overtly racist, these days!

Just make sure I don't get the MS in your will, Fran, OK?!

BTW, The Oscar Peterson Show (on the BBC in England) was mandatory family entertainment in my house as a kid. Why is it so hard to imagine anything this classy being a regular network show any more?
