But, don't age too much in reverse. Who wants to be a teenager again? Not me!

I remember that there was a Twilight Zone episode about this. As I recall, it starred Ruta Lee.

I'm assuming that someone had one wish and he wished to be a teenager again? And, I'm assuming that he got his wish and ended up regretting it.

I rarely watched the Twilight Zone as a child, or any time in my life. I don't know why. Probably because it was a little too noir--dark, visually and in plot, etc.--for me. I didn't like the noir stuff. Still don't.

However, one that I do remember watching was one similar to the one that you described. Best that I remember, there was a comedian, who was an utter failure--he couldn't get people to laugh at any joke that he made while he was on stage. He made a wish---somehow, to someone--that he would be funny. Well, he became funny--so much so, in fact, that people laughed at everything that he said, even off the stage, and even when he was trying to talk seriously to people. He, too, regretted his wish.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than two shows which used a similar plot to those, especially on those weeks when the writers were struggling to come up with an idea for the next show.

Do they play real football up there in Canada, or the game with the misnomer "football," which uses a round ball and should be referred to as soccer?

The rest of the world wonders why we call a sport where the only time the foot touches the ball is when you kick the ball to the other team or attempt to score an extra point, "FOOTBALL". Canadian football played by the CFL has 12 players per side, the field is larger than the American football field, and the rules are obviously different. So, yes, it's as real as American football is.

Welcome to posting on MobileRead!

I'll send you some karma to welcome you.

The reviews on the audiobook and the ebook are very good. I think that seeing those must be part of the reason that I purchased the audiobook back a couple of years ago. Oh, it's also a "bestseller," now, too.

Frankly, I found the audio boring. I'm sure that I would the ebook, too, although I could more efficiently skip through the parts that I thought were excessively boring.

Part of my antipathy may be because I never was a groupie or even a "follower" of the Allman Brothers band. The thing that I remember most was that one of them married Cher one time. Fans of the Allman Brothers may like it, however--the great ratings and "bestseller" status are coming from somewhere.

Hahahahahah.

I was just trying to get a rise out of the foreigners on the thread.

You made a great point.

I looked up the beginning dates of both kinds of football, as I thought that I might have a valid argument there. Lost again. It appears that soccer football started about 1863, and American football started in about 1869.

Maybe American football should change it's name to "armball" since, as you mentioned soccer involves contact with the ball much more than American football. There is much, much use of arms in American football. And the mouth, in trash talk.
