Listener comments!
Many thanks for your inspiration.
He was a much better romantic lead than any of the saps the Brothers employed after he left.

'World Ice Doctrine', but no dice for the Infinite Ice.

I can't remember what I read: I think Zeppo worked either in Detroit or in Camden, N.J..
I can't find it now, but I see that I misremembered the story, and the facts are even more credible: Zeppo was a _mechanic_ for Ford, and throughout his life was a tinkerer and inventor. Someone who fixes cars is in a much better position to learn how efficiently to steal them than someone on the line.
I'm pretty sure it was either Monday afternoon (hope springing again in their breasts!) or Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday, _terrible_. Friday morning o.k., Friday afternoon bad, people skipping-out or slightly drunk.
I once went to lunch at a burger place that served a lot of linemen working for A Major Phone Company. I was appalled at the amount of drinking, only later realising that most of them had already finished work for the day.
Uh, as it turned-out, he could write just fine, but his woman preferred the mechanical pencil Texas Guinan bought her for their 'kaffeeklatsches'.
…and sometimes Betty covered his face with kisses.
FREE FLIP! 🐸
Keep On Codging !
