Absent Minded Mantis

I can't remember
Where did I leave my car keys?
Please don't drink and drive

Mr. Belt, I have admired your humor for a while. Some of your work is laugh out loud funny and you seem to have a bend between Ernie Kovacs and the Far Side. But I like your thinking. Just to add my appreciation to your talent, I remain, Gerard.
