"Too early".
Said the voice from somewhere in the crowd of people gobsmacked into silence by Dr. Godfrey Adolphus Danderdrop, Professor Emeritus Emiratatus at The Institute of Particle Phys Ed and Quantum Absurdiatry, when he was asked about the cauldron of media attention in which the Nittany Lion King, Coach Joe Paterno, now simmers.
"It reminds me of one of the favorite stories of my dear departed friend, Robert Blake Harper, known to some of you as the radio personality Skinny Bobby Harper, on whom the character, Johnny Fever of WKRP in Cincinnati is based", said Dr. Danderdrop.
"You work hard all your life, never lifting your nose from the grindstone, go to church regularly, are a steadfast and faithful husband and loving father, a noted philanthropist, a benefactor of the poor everywhere, honest and respectful of others, and generally a light in the darkness, a beacon of goodness and mercy for all What?
What's that you say.
"Too early".
That's what I was going to say.
