BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – STEPHEN FOSTER
Loon: On this new year’s day edition of the 3 Question Interview With A Celebrity Ghost, the Lords of the 4th Dimension have seen fit to deliver to us one Stephen Foster, a man I have never heard of, but who I am told wrote tunes. Mr. Foster, how often were you able to go ice skating?
Foster’s ghost: Not as often as I desired.
Loon: Too bad. It’s a lot of fun. I went yesterday. Second question. If you could live on the moon, would you?
Foster’s ghost: When I was alive, I never considered it. Now being dead, I do, as a matter of fact, live on the moon.
Loon: Final question. When you were alive, did you get enough roughage in your diet?
Foster’s ghost: I’m not altogether sure.
Loon: Thank you and good-bye. (Foster fades along with the piano and banjo he brought along. Loon goes to table, retrieves half consumed Snickers bar, consumes it.)
