People used to talk about Gustav the Ventriloquist. Oh sure, he was popular each summer at the holiday resorts, his act was first rate, but there just seemed something a little bit off. His puppet was just a little too lifelike. It was years before that dreaded headline appeared in the paper:

"Neighbors said he was very quiet. Seemed like a really nice man. Never gave anyone any trouble."

And then...his puppet spoke without his hand attached!

Beatrix always made goo-goo eyes at Gustav, but the busy accountant didn't have time to look at the secretary. One day, though, she bought Bump Its to give her hair some lift, and *voila*! Gustav was hooked.

Either he's wearing a lady's suit, or the negative was backward.

I'm wearing those glasses right now, sadly, I don't know how to make my hair do that.

Beatrix, did you really do jerry-curls in that long ago?

Gustav, did you know that Hitler named a defence line after you, i.e. the "Gustav Line"?

Scrolled down to this picture, happened to have my guitar, and I just wrote a song about dear Beatrix. Wow, where the hell did that come from?
