[JPL] stardust

[Jim Wilke]

That's a good one!

On the other hand, there's the story about Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein lI 
being seated at a banquet table with the brief introduction: "Her 
husband wrote 'Some Enchanted Evening'."

The person sitting next to her queried "I thought Richard Rodgers wrote 
'Some Enchanted Evening'?

  "No,"  she replied, "he wrote 'dum de dum dum de dum'.  My husband 
wrote 'Some enchanted evening...'."
