George:
I got you a gift.
[it's a present wrapped in a brown paper bag]
Lisa:
Thanks.
[Opens the gift]
Lisa:
. Thanks for not rushing me.
George:
Yeah.
[It's Play-Doh]
George:
This is only half the gift.
Lisa:
Yeah?
George:
It doesn't work without the story.
Lisa:
[sarcastically]
Ok?
George:
[Explains the story of how Play-Doh was invented]
This stuff was invented by this man in central Ohio as white goo. They used it to remove stuff off a wallpaper from old-fashioned heating. So this gas and electric heating came and there was no longer a need for the cleaning goo. So, the guy was going under with his sister in law who was a nursery school teacher...
Lisa:
Is this a true story?
George:
The man's name was Joe Mcvicker. His sister was Kay Zufall.
Lisa:
Ok, I believe you.
George:
So, Kay Zufall discovered that her little kids liked squeezing the goo a lot more than hard-modeling clay. So she suggested to her brother in law Joe, the color of the stuff, and call it Play-Doh.
Lisa:
[impressed]
Hey. Nice.
George:
I have kept this for a long time as proof that we're all just one small adjustment the way from making our lives work.
