Ok, Ok! I'm sorry. The correct answer is indeed Elwood P. Dowd, played
by Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey". But the thing is, two people got it anway,
even with the wrong name. As for a better grand-prize, I don't know
if I could get Joseph Robert Briggs (Joe Bob) to come to Ft. Worth.
It's only 30 miles, but as I understand it, he sticks close to home.
(No, I don't have a "Joe Bob Briggs is a close personal friend of mine"
T-shirt). And who wants to go to Dallas anyway? Remember:

[What's a pooka?] The first time this list appeared, I didn't bother to mention it, assuming anyone who bothered to mail you the answers would also correct your mistake. But, since it has come through wrong again, as a devout Harvey fan, I must point out that Jimmy Stewart's character was not Elwood P. DOBBS -- it was Elwood P. DOWD. *Everybody* knows *that*!! dlh P.S. Next time try offering a better grand prize...like a Saturday night date at the drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs. I'll guarantee you 69 points won't take it!
