The Slice

Two “It’s a Wonderful Life” questions

1. Ever tuck an envelope full of cash into a newspaper and then put the paper down and forget it?

We all remember when Uncle Billy did just that. Sure, he might have been a stupid, silly old fool. But let he who has never done something like that cast the first stone.

And didn't Janet Leigh stick some cash in a paper in her room at the Bates Motel in "Psycho"? Sure, the circumstances in which she became separated from the money were a little different. But once again a newspaper proved to be an imperfect currency conveyance.

2. If you were to come up with a variation on "...old building and loan pal" based on your work or social life, what would it be?

"Old Q6 pal"?

"Old Spokane Club pal"?

"Old Manito Park pal"?
