<br>Subject: B-E-D
<br>
<br>     This cartoon was in the Wall Street Journal, PEPPER...and Salt, 14
<br>February 1962, pg. 14, col. 5.  A man leaves the office, telling his
<br>secretary:
<br>
<br>"And if anyone else from the S.B.A., the F.T.C., or the B.D.S.A. calls, tell
<br>them I've gone home to B.E.D."
<br>
<br>     My father used to say this all the time--"it's time for B-E-D."
<br>     We have V-E-Ts on this list.  Does "B-E-D" come from the A-R-M-Y?  Or
<br>maybe it was a joke on a Phil Silvers show?  I did the "spelling bee" some
<br>weeks ago; why would anyone S-P-E-L-L the simple, three-letter word "bed"?
<br>     Clearly, I'm in T-R-O-U-B-L-E, and I just can't D-I-V-O-R-C-E myself from
<br>the situation.  Is it related to H-A-double R-I-G-A-N spells HARRIGAN or K-E-
<br>N-N-E-D-Y spells KENNEDY?
<br>     Oh well.  Take off my B-V-Ds, put on my P-Js, and go to....
