#February 1, 1904
#OTD S.J. Perelman, American #Humorist, is born.
In his #Book '#Acres and Pains' (1943), Sidney wrote his transformation fr/ a city #Lazybones to #Country squire. He also shared the relatable frenzy caused by #SeedCatalogs:
"The children need a #Pumpkin for #Halloween & let's have plenty of #Beets. We can make our own lump sugar!
Then someone discovers the #Hybrids: the #Onion crossed w/ a #Pepper or a new vanilla-flavored #Turnip that plays the 'St. James Infirmary Blues.'"
