Some can yodel when they sing, but Bert can yodel when he talks. He decided to put it to good use and become a ventriloquist!

“Hello Dolly,” says Bert.

“Hello Gert,“ says Dolly.

He’s not very good!

    LOL!That throwaway line about “one hand up…” is really amusing. I think I’m just an immature boy trapped in a man’s body!

        Indeed. Please pardon my asking, Keith, do you live near Wales? I seem to recall you do.
