Helphey Vern!
in reply to a message by )(
Ya know whaddamean, Vern?
When I was growing up, there was a comedian called Jm Varney who had a character called Ernest P. Worrell, a very dumb, very cliched hillbily who was always telling of his adventures to his unseen, unheard friend Vern. He always began with "Hey Vern!" and usually ended with "Ya know whaddamean, Vern?"
The Ernest character was very popular and there were several movies about him, including "Ernest Saves Christmas" and "Ernest Scared Stupid."
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
