We are prolly about the same age! No it was in reference to the 'Tootsie Roll' commerical of the 70s. With a W.C. Feilds reference, 'cause he and that Owl kind-a look alike, maybe not. So do you understand k . . . Eldred? :-) SLG [email hidden] (EldredP) wrote:

I realized it was a take off on that commercial. But, since I didn't pick up the reference to W.C. Fields, I thought that *could* have been a shot at me.
