This was just another reminder...for all those who have not taken the time to read his signature line...that Frank IS Vintage.

Was linguistic standard fare in our house. My Dad worked on most of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the early Sixties. Most of what you hear will be the voice of the magnificent real life Daws Butler.

ON THE LAM..........

I work as a manager at an independent hotel. A few days ago, I was assisting a guest check-in. His last name was Lam, so trying to be funny I said, "You're not on the lam, are you?" This roughly 30 year-old guy looked at me like I had two heads. I then proceeded to explain what the expression meant.
Apparently, he had never heard that expression in his entire life.

I'm turning into my grandfather.

Strike up the band - Frank did a masterful job echoing the conversational style and expressions of our everyday communication in the good old days.
