The Man in the Yellow Hat spoke at length of the desirable features to be found in the wonderful little Gogomobil car,and even more on the pair of sparkling new LLoyd Alexanders .....He was affable,eloquent,and confident.He had a charismatic delivery.

Not a one of us had the heart to tell him that we did not speak French....But we all enjoyed the balloon animals.And at the end of the speech, we were, each one of us, given a key-ring and an ink pen to take home

Later that evening, over drinks at the Sizzler,our friends (who knew we`d attended the "event") asked if we`d had any issues with the driving pigs.

It wasn`t until the following day that we learned of the pig incident. And just how lucky our early departure timing had been.

                                   

(you can read more about that in the exciting ,recently published, sequel to Yellow Hat)

As long as Purina keeps making monkey chow,our heroes will prevail......I think you`re old enough to remember the lean times Jack.....Back when The Man with the Yellow Hat was just The Man.....another hand hawkin`cars for him in those days....Nasty little fella would soon as bite you as give you the time of day.......These days, TMITYH and his curious compadre are A-OK

Ach....there you go JB making me tear up with nostalgia again.  The Man and his accordion busking when sales slumped..... were yet the best of times...to be sure....although that tin cup got heavy with change; the monkey suit hot and that leash could make my neck a bit raw......
