Uncle Harry

“Uncle” Harry Housman says:

“…and don’t even get me started on microwaves! What am I, a scientist? Have you seen these things lately? There’s more buttons and dials on ‘em than in the cockpit of an An-124 Condor Long-Range Heavy Transport Aircraft from Antonov Aeronautical Scientific Technical Complex! You with me, folks? Sheesh. Tough crowd.”

*Harold G. Housman or Uncle Harry was a stand-up comedian, actor, singer and all-around entertainer whose career started in the late forties, peaked the week of December 14th, 1961, and went into a steady decline from then until February 1st, 1998, when Uncle Harry suffered a stroke in the middle of his Velveeta cheese routine. He was also my real life uncle and a kind of mentor to me. I’ve amassed quite a few notebooks worth of quotes, routines, stories and life lessons from my Great Uncle Harry. I’m currently working on turning them into a book tentatively titled Hey Numbnuts, Listen To Your Uncle Harry! Now and again I’ll post some excerpts from the work in progress.
