- Hi everybody,
-
- Good to see a newsgroup on the master of comedy. As for a term for all
- right thinking Wodehouse fans, how about "Wodeheads" a la Deadheads for
- the Grateful Dead?
-
- Let me cite some memorable wodehousia:
-
- "He had the look of a frustrated tiger whose personal physician had
- recommended a strict vegetarian diet..."
-
- "....fell into the washing machine and did as many revolutions per minute
- as a small African republic..."
-
- "....conversing with Aunt Dahlia was like throwing chaff into the path
- of a lively tornado.."
-
- Any more, folks?
-
- Pip-pip and toodle-oo, what?
