cmvgor Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks, skipper. New one: Schoolyard faceoff, bullies attacking a brainy nerd. The victim talks while taking his lumps: "Go ahead, Stephen, take your last licks. But this will heal. What I'm going to say to you will not. Ready? Here it is. You'll never make more than nineteen thousand dollars a year. Ha ha ha....Okay; take this: You'll never leave South Boston, and I'm going to see the whole damn world. You'll never know the pleasure of writing a graceful sentence or having an original thought. Think about it." (He is left defeated on the ground as his tormenters walk away.) _Stephen:_ "Nineteen thousand dollars. Not bad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Good guesses all, with the possible exception of *FITZWILLY*, which I manage to miss every Christmas. 6's gets the prize: *MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET* is the answer.
