Reply to comment by HildaMarin in I read Finnegan's Wake so you don't have to by machobiscuit

Sitting in the common room of Happy Vale Nursing Home, the cheery nurse asks me "Do you want to play Bingo or do a jigsaw puzzle?"

"I want to read 'Finnegan's Wake' aloud - in a group."

"If you're going to be like that, Mr. Smith, we'll have to send you back to your room."

Happy Vale or is it Happy Dale with Dr. Witherspoon?

Dang - that's why "Happy Vale" popped into my head! I saw Arsenic & Old Lace just a few months ago.
