Humor, a good sense of it, is to Americans what manhood is to Spaniards, and we will go to great lengths to prove it.

That's what I am, Frank thought, an ordinary genius. He had unlocked the secret of radio. The sport of the ordinary! Brillliant me like Reed Seymour couldn't figure this out for the life of them!
