It was even before the use of "mishegoss" that I laughed robustly and I just don't much .. because long COVID starting in early 2023 brought hearing loss AND the most amazing tunes heard in my ears. My mother (z"l) had that too - tho' she heard much better music than I. (Currently "It's a small world" on repeat; sometimes it's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" which I attribute to you and a group singalong idea; other times it's some children's songs. It's all annoying. Hearing aids, I was told, don't fix this which is a form of tinnitus. Feh.) Just smile and go along. You and David Sedaris and yes, the MAGA candidate during the debate, cause guffaws. Long live two of you.

Good morning, Garrison. Had a similar experience while visiting in a group of five. The conversation had become biblical, so in an attempt for humor, I posed the question. "Why did God give Adam nipples," and all hell broke out. The least interesting among the group, sitting inside a kitchen eating fresh baked pecan pie, wearing a baseball cap, became disgusted and walked out of the house. The gathering was abandoned. RR
