Victor Borge once determined that our spoken word lacked the clarity of written prose, and suggested this remedy to help us get our message across verbally.

My math professor in college had put this video on at the beginning of class and it was the best start to a morning class I had. Loved Victor.

I was ‘introduced’ to the comical genius and musical talents of Victor Borge by Revered Ed and his wife Marion Bradley when they invited me to share Thanksgiving with their family and the had the VHS set and let me borrow it. Thank you Ed and Marion, and may you all rest in peace

I first learned of him and this routine when he performed it on a children's television show - either Sesame Street or The Electric Company, can't remember which - back in the 1970s. I wondered who was this mad genius who illuminated the importance of proper punctuation with such comicality. It's now almost half a century later, and I still think about it. Well played, Mr. Borge, well played.

And now, whilst you're in the mood - dash off with your dearest one to the bedroom, for some adult quality time! Sure she will exclaim: "Oh, wouldn't that be lovely?!" Or, ... !?", if you're left-handed.
