a gynecologist in California allegedly branded a woman's name on her own uterus.

Two questions.

1.) Did she use a local?

2.) Was the woman her lover?

Oh, I see. I’ve watched the Cagney-Lemmon version several times, it’s very good. Probably the only Henry Fonda picture I like.

I guess I was sort of dimly aware of the sequel, with Burl Ives, but never watched it all the way through. I didn’t know about the marbles thing. Thanks for explaining.

I recently saw the classic Carol Burnett skit where Tim Conway is a new dentist trying to treat Harvey Korman and has to consult his books, and repeatedly stabs himself w/Novacaine to the point he’s half paralyzed and still trying to pull a tooth. Finally he knocks the tooth out by mistake with the spotlight. So hilarious - they were both cracking up at times.

Well, if they are branding the patient’s own name on their own body parts (like the woman’s uterus) wouldn’t that be a great way to prevent theft? We do it to parts on our vehicles and some folks engrave their stuff on their TVs and such.

Just sayin’.

Most of the laughs from their skits were from watching those two trying to just get through their lines. They were hilarious.

Yes, that was definitely a highlight of the week back then.

I've seen chip-designers design their initials (and other things) into computer-chips. Many cannot be seen without a SEM. (scanning electron miscroscope)

One large Texas electronic company frequently designed their company logo into the circuit. Russian reverse engineers quickly learned to leave it in.
Still, there were ways to determine that the chip design had been 'hacked.'(The CIA was taught how to read those 'signs')

Robert Walker/Ensign Pulver. Was he the one in Strangers on a train?
