Show Description
Did a show a few months ago, regarding phrases used in office correspondence
Shep once recommended sending a letter to a large corporation whose content was totally confusing and meaningless. A fan sends him a letter he wrote and the letter he got back from the company, which he reads both of.
He talks about Elmer Gantry being performed on Broadway
Shep plugs "America, Inc" and his Newark College of Engineering appearance tomorrow. (2/20/70)
One of the first books Shep read as a kid
Spent a year trying to figure out what Boccaccio's Decameron was all about. (This is the book that got Shep into hotwater as a kid when he wrote a book report about it. - "In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash", Miss Breyfogal and the Case of the Warbling Cuckold" and on the radio March 21, 1963 - 6th Grade Book Report.
