These posts of yours are enjoyable to read. Your last comment regarding "You can't take it with you" brought to mind two things.

Bob Hope used to tell a funny story sometimes in his comedy routine. He would say, "They say 'you can't take it with you', but I saw Jack Benny coming out of a store with an asbestos suitcase." One wonders whether the subtle dig would be lost now on people in a post-Christian culture.

Also, if you've never seen the (very) old Jimmy Stewart movie "You Can't Take it With You", it is well worth watching. Also stars Lionel Barrymore (who later played "Mr. Potter" in "It's a Wonderful Life") and Jean Arthur.
