Mortimer Snerd: "Do you know how you can tell a Cadillac from" - or should
that be _than_ - "a Ca-diddle-ac?"
Edgar Bergen:     "How, Mortimer?"
Mortimer Snerd:  "By the -diddle- in the middle!"

Was your landlady - or should that be ""land*lord*" - old enough to have
been a fan of the "Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy" segment of the Chase
& Sanborn Hour of radio days?
