This is a longer chapter, but an important one. To view a version of the original Mike Nichols/Elaine May skit, go here. I hope y'all think it's as funny as I do.

I believe that the Nichols-May routine on YouTube is truncated due to time constraints on the Jack Paar show. And, as usual, I've added a few specific Lois & Clark touches.
