I’m glad to say that I’m one of the younger members who did get it—because I had to do it. I think my two favourite tapes as a kid were Songs, Themes and Laughs from The Andy Griffith Show and a Jerry Clower album.
That Jerry Clower tape had one of my favourite stories of his:
There was an Englishman, an American & an Irishman stranded on a desert island. One day whilst beachcombing, they came across a lamp. One of them gave it a rub & 'Shebam!' a genie appeared.
" Oh thankyou for releasing me" said the genie " and to reward you I'll give you each one wish."
So the genie asked the Englishman first, what was his wish;
" Well" he replied " I'd like to be back in England as I have a business & dozens of employees that depend on me" & 'whoosh' he was gone. Then the genie turned to the American & asked for his wish;
" I'd like to be with my family in the USA I love them & they need me" replied the American & with a 'Whoosh' he was gone.
Then the genie asked the Irishman who sighed "I miss my two friends I wish they were back here. "
