"Words, in their primary or immediate signification, stand for nothing but the ideas in the mind of him who uses them." John Locke (1632-1704)
Some
of the ideas and concepts expressed have come from our experiences, friends, the
Internet, TV, books, and chiefly (A Johnny Carson Indian Tribe joke?) from our
interplay with each other. When we
know that someone else has previously used an idea, we have given credit where
credit is due. (How much does credit do?) What we hope you'll see is that DoubleTakes are all around you. Or as Ronald Reagan told Virginia Mayo in The Girl From Jones' Beach, "It's tuff
leading a double language." Thanks
Ronnie.
AN INTERESTING DT FOOT(inthemouth)NOTE: Virginia Mayo was born Virginia Jones (Jones' Beach).

JC STORY:
For those too young to remember, Johnny Carson would mention the Indian tribe, the F@#%awis. Johnny would then go on to explain how everyone knew they were lost: they were seen wandering around muttering "Where the f@#%awi?"
