...and after looking for a picture of the author, I think I know why - looks like he may have been my father's mentor in comedy."I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
because a could-be is a maybe
who is reaching for a star.
I’d rather be a has-been
than a might-have been, by far;
For a might have-been has never been,
But a has-been was once an are."
-Milton Berle

I LOVE it! That is so true too.
Yup, sounds just like Dad! He always said he was "39, just like Jack Benny" - and I always asked, "who was Jack Benny?" Dad said he was a comedian from years ago. So guess that was his "other" mentor!
