Leonard Wanetik

Memory fades after 57 short years, but I believe that Lenny made up a joke that he told us 8th graders. Whether he did or did not, I'd like to think that it originated in his intellectual (even then) mind. It goes like this:

On an island far away there lived the Main Bird, whom everyone thought of as their Leader.

One day the Main Bird grew ill, and his condition worsened by the day. The elders of the island thought his condition would improve if the yeast content in his diet were increased. So he was given more bread, pizza, some beer, muffins, bisquits and scones.

Unfortunately, his medical condition continued to worsen, so the elders met again and decided that, since humor is the best medicine, that they would call in the Court Jester and  have him perform for the Main Bird. The Jester came in and told jokes, did somersaults, paraded around the Main Bird in funny costumes for hours.

But to no avail. The Main Bird's condition worsened and amongst great sadness on the island, he passed away a few days later.

And the moral of this story is
Though Yeast is Yeast
and Jest is Jest
Never the Main shall tweet

Thank you, Lenny Wanetik
