- But, my favorite part (after Al Gore's displacement

- Isn't that "The Major Dooley March?" I thought it was a Souza.
- (Mixed up thread trivia point: Clifton Webb played Souza in one
- movie, and that therblig-Gilbreth guy in "Cheeper by the Dozen.")

- However, many baby
- boomers instantly recognized the music as being the theme from
- Monty Python's Flying Circus!!!

- I always expect to see a large foot come down on whatever when I hear
- that music.
