    I’ve heard Mortimer was the name of a childhood pet mouse of Walter. His wife Lillian suggested to name his internationally famous cartoon rodent Mickey instead (Mortimer was used for the love rival to Minnie).

    Even way back then the older generations were baffled by abbreviations. Or maybe that’s an acronym. Whatever. Believe it or not.

    Which ones? the white ones or the black ones? If they really repel insects, why isn’t the zebra all that color?

    “Mortimer” then would become the name of Mickey’s rival.

    But in Winston’s day, OMG stood for the “Old Man’s Gin” which, to Winston was sort of like worship, so Oh, My God…too.

    Only because of “recorded” being the keyword. Abraham said it aloud in Hebrew.

    Once skinned, dried and stretched, the Zebra stripes can be used to swat flies.

    Mortimer was renamed ‘Mickey’.

    It’s not that a zebra’s stripe REPEL insects, but the research shows that some flies become confused and have a hard time landing on them.

    Walt’s wife said no to Mortimer. Thus Mickey. Shame.

    Take care, may the fliggerflord be with you, and gesundheit.
