No; that's just perfect. Although to me, none of the Stooges interest me, as I can't abide their form of slapstick. Or Schtick.

Pictured below is Nevil Norway, better known by his pen-name Nevil Shute. Mr. Shute was a pipe-smoker, aeronautical engineer, pilot, and renowned author. Working for Vickers, Mr. Shute became the Chief Engineer on the R100 airship project. He subsequently formed Airspeed Ltd. which designed and manufactured airplanes. His books include: On the Beach, No Highway, Round the Bend, A Town Like Alice, and many, many others.

One of the more underrated writers of the 20th century, in my opinion. I love Round the bend, Requiem for a Wren, Slide Rule, Pastoral, Ordeal, and so many others. And for me On the Beach is THE post apocalyptic novel. After that “The Road” or “The Stand” seem quaint by comparison
