Steve Lawrence passed away today at age 88. For you young folks (including me), he was a singer and actor known to our elders and Vegas-goers of a generation or two ago. You could look him up.
But I'd rather post Mike Myers' rendition of the man, as seen in one of my favorite SNL sketches.
Enjoy.
I’m surprised that clip is still available.

ReplyDeleteThe Fins do a lot of shipbuilding like Hampton Roads, but they are up in Finlandia so instead of submarines they build icebreakers. That was all the talk. I can tell you for sure the “come here often?” quips I offered fell super duper flat. Every. Single. Time.
Finns to the right?

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Whitney doing shipyard diplomacy over beers and bad jokes with self important people.
ReplyDeleteThese were semi important people. Like I said, they were very short.
