They’d never believe it, if my Friends could see me now!” Apologies to Sweet Charity: music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields and book by Neil Simon (1966).
For Benito, life in Lisbon was a real drag. He longed to be rescued from this life of hustle and bustle. He thought maybe the road to salvation was selling wine jugs, … because a Benny urned is a Benny saved!
