George 'n Ross riposte...

Ever read "The Kidnapping of Red Chief"? Jay would go bankrupt. :-)


George, George . . . it's "The RANSOM of Red Chief" . . . by O Henry.
(I just had to do that, sorry)

But you'll remember, dear, the point of the story was that the kid kidnapped
was so rotten, the crooks eventually paid a tidy sum to be rid of him. I can
testify that Jay's boy is pleasant enough that he'd require special training to
take part in such a scam...though he'd be smart enough to see the fun in doing
it!
