When I saw this in the WSJ this morning:
TUNKHANNOCK, Pa.—Atop a hill at the end of a road called P&G Warehouse Way sits a warehouse stocked with Pampers diapers, Bounty paper towels and other items made by Procter & Gamble Co. It also houses an ambitious experiment by Amazon.com Inc.
I initially read the boldfaced part as “P.G. Wodehouse.” Not a name I think of very often.
Then, within an hour, I was reading this, from an email from The Trinity Forum:
Happy Birthday, P.G. Wodehouse!
October 15, 1881 – February 14, 1975
Coincidence? Yes, I suppose so.
Anyway, if any of y’all want to explore the author beyond Bertie Wooster, Trinity’s offering a deal on one of Wodehouse’s books.
I’d wish him a Happy Birthday, but, since he died in 1975, I doubt he’s on Facebook…
