[net.misc] Answer to Walnut-Hiccup Cure

rdk@ihuxa.UUCP (06/14/83)

Someone presented to the net (I can't remember who) about
what you would do if you didn't have any thumbs.  I
remember that he said to place a walnut in your mouth, and
then told us that this was very discrete.  I used to watch
the Dick Van Dyke show on a regular basis and I remember
a show that talked about having no thumbs and there was this
wierd phenomenom (sp.) about a closet full of walnuts.
I am wondering if this is the relationship this person was trying
to represent.  Please respond if this makes any sense.
I am losing sleep over this one....

There was in fact a Dick Van Dyke Show episode in which Rob dreamed the worlk
(s/worlk/world/) was being invaded by aliens.  They had no thumbs, and stock-
piled walnuts; one of the highlights of the episode was Rob opening up his
closet only to be buried in a sea of walnuts.

Danny Thomas was the head Alien and they could see from eyes in the back
of their heads.
