O'Henry!

This is funny. A few years ago, I purchased the book, Here's Morgan!, via Amazon. This is the autobiography of humorist Henry Morgan. Most of you know Morgan from his years as a panelist on the game show, I've Got a Secret. But he also did some very fine and clever programs on both radio and TV. Much of the humor in the early issues of MAD was inspired by Henry Morgan.

Anyway, I just received this e-mail from Amazon…

We've noticed that customers who have expressed interest in "Here's Morgan!" by Henry Morgan have also ordered "Empire of Blue Water: Captain Morgan's Great Pirate Army, the Epic Battle for the Americas, and the Catastrophe That Ended the Outlaws' Bloody Reign" by Stephan Talty. For this reason, you might like to know that Stephan Talty's "Empire of Blue Water: Captain Morgan's Great Pirate Army, the Epic Battle for the Americas, and the Catastrophe That Ended the Outlaws' Bloody Reign" is now available. You can order your copy for just $18.96 ($5.99 off the list price) by following the link below.

In other words: Since you were interested in Henry Morgan, the radio humorist, we assume you're interested in Sir Henry Morgan, the seventeenth century pirate. This is the same expert use of computers that causes our National Security people to arrest and torture the wrong person because they have the same name as the right person.
