The Sunday Times had this funny piece on “famous” telegrams over the years, and this one made me laugh. Apparently, a journalist once sent a telegram to Cary Grant’s people asking him his age, and it read:
“How old Cary Grant?”
In reply, Grant sent this telegram:
“Old Cary Grant fine. How you?”
Man, jokes like this crack me up. I had to call my dad and tell him because I inherited a gene that made me know he would like it too, and he did laugh too. You’ve got to love hearing your dad laugh long and genuinely.

Sadly telegrams seem to have been replaced by cell phone texting and strange jargon. Or do I mean:
