You should meet another of my characters I'm writing scripts for...Doctor Scones. He's a Brit who wears a pith helmet. He has been to Layard's digs at Nineveh and has seen the depiction of the menorah on the side of the Arch of Titus. He's fallen into a cistern in Aleppo, been escorted off the Temple Mount by security, and hiked around Jebel Musa wondering if it could have been the Sinai of Exodus.

His full name is Theodore Nigel Scones. I named him that so he could go by "T. N. Scones." Of course, the biggest benefit to the name is that I got to write the immortal line, "We meet again, Doctor Scones!"

Consequently, while you're in Israel writing about North Carolina history, I'm in North Carolina writing about Israel's history.

Scones: Of course, I did not miss the chance to get a drink from Abraham's Well.
Teacher: Abraham's Well?
Scones: Actually, he's feeling a bit under the weather!

We meet again, Doctor Scones!"

Is that from Sherlock Holmes?

I read what you freepmailed me. Nutworth is very funny. Banana!

You are very punny and people who can pun and are clever in the language, I really respect that talent. That is why I like Sondheim lyrics. He does a lot with that type of word play.
