WALK AND CHEW GUM

   Our earliest "walk and chew gum," when discussed about a month ago, was
this:


Even earlier, Newspaperarchive.com has:

1967 _Lethbridge_ (Alberta) _Herald_ 8 Apr.  The office wit says he'llnever
take his wife skiing again ... he says she's so uncoordinated that she can't
even walk and chew gum at the same time.

It could still be that the Johnson comment is the origin, if it reliably
dates from before 1967.

   I re-checked.

SO OLD SCHOOL...

   This was in Friday's NEW YORK POST.  There are many Google hits, but not
for the POST's "old old school" joke.

so
old school that they knocked down his school to build the old school. ...

* Lenny Lewin, who covered sports for The Post for 30 years, died Monday at
87. Lewin was old school. He even wore a tie and jacket to Knick practices. To
steal a line, he was so old school that they knocked down his school to build
the old school.

TOM FULLER

   I don't know what DARE or the OXFORD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD AND
DRINK will have for "Tom Fuller."  John Mariani has an entry in his ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF AMERICAN FOOD AND DRINK (1999).
   Newspaperarchive wasn't too helpful.  I tried "Tom Fuller," "Thomas
Fuller," and "Tom Fulla."
