Great subtle humor again. Interesting, the advent of answering machines back then. And someone named "Nobody". That's so Eugene, like other characters we've had, like "Stupid".

John and I were just talking about this yesterday. I told him about 'Stupid' (that's where I got the idea for Nobody) and another friend who used the name Somebody. Glad you remember how it was.

There's actually a book entitled "Nobody, Son of Nobody" written by an 11th century Persian Sufi Mystic. Very spiritual in nature...
