In the music category, I don’t know how MaryAnne missed the 70’s classic hit, “Do It Again” by Steely Dan.  The name “Jack” is mentioned in the chorus.  Not particularily a comforting set of lyrics if you know Jack like I do.   With that in mind, I offer this token of goodwill to my opposite number: THHHBPTHPTH!!!!
