I too was unaware that Mad had had ads previously. I guess I was going on
old information.
I guess I have also been soundly put in my place, so I am going to go back
to doing what I do best, which is, um, ah, I used to know what it is, ah, it
was written down right here next to my grocery list, ah.
Gary!! Help!! I don't remember what I do best!!!!!
