Good strategy, Jeff; he’ll be so exhausted by then you can finish him off with one punch.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷“Swinging Haymakers” sounds like the name of a country-rock band.
I still have two telegrams from the 50s, when my sister delivered a niece and a nephew. She was living just north of Eureka, Montana at the time – no telephone but GN Ry had a telegraph office at Eureka.The WALL phone did in the telegrams long before the cell phones.
Like the joke about the singing telegram. A messenger comes to a house and has a telegram to deliver. The woman receiving asks if the company does singing telegrams. The boy says yes but says that he doesn;t believe the woman would want to hear him sing it. When the woman insists, the boy proceeds: Your sister Rose is dead. She died last night in bed…………………………

Oh dear, Jeff. Remember… Don’t be starting what you can’t finish.
I love how Mutt’s hat flies up in the air when he is surprised.

Apparently, twisted telegraph wires resembled a grapevine – hence the expression for sure information…
