Here's an except from a must read

"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."

If you both read this, or have read this, we're talkin' serious bonding.

...Don't get me wrong son. I ain't a bad guy, but you can only take so much. I spent ten years trying to make Paradise Vendors a reputable organization, but that ain't easy. People look down on hot-dog vendors. They think I operate a business for bums. I got trouble finding decent vendors. Then, when I find some nice guy, he goes out and gets himself mugged by hoodlums. How come God has to make it so tough for you?

"We must not question His ways," Ignatius said.

"Maybe not, but I still don't get it."

"The writings of Boethius may give you some insight."

"I read Father Keller and Billy Graham in the paper every single day."

Oh, my God!" Igantius spluttered. "No wonder you are so lost."

"Here," the old man said, opening a metal locker near the stove. "Put this on."

He took what looked like a white smock out of the locker and handed it to Ignatius.

"What is this?" Ignatius asked happily. "It looks like an academic gown."........

Except for the hair and mustache it sounds a lot like Elmer Fudd. I thought I was reading "Bugs Bunny: the novel."
