Und You Vill Laaf

Matthew at Holy Whapping presents us with "the best random sentence I have ever read while browsing Wikipedia: 'It is considered the father of Iranian TV comedy.'

"Just savor it," he suggests.

I do and it is delicious indeed. It brings to mind the time some years ago I ran the classical department in a large NYC record store. One day, pawing through some recent arrivals, I made a wonderful discovery and held it up triumphantly to my staffers and customers. Loudly proclaiming it "the shortest CD ever made," its title was "The Lighter Side of Herbert von Karajan."
