Who's on First?
/
At a recent weekly business meeting the speaker was explaining the confusing alphabet soup that is Medicare plans.
Although I am not close to qualifying for Medicare, I listened politely, because that's what we do.
After one particularly convoluted explanation, someone in the audience muttered, "Who's on first?"
“Who’s on first?”
We all laughed.
Then I started wondering.... Does the younger generation get that reference?
It comes from a 1930 comedy routine in which Bud Abbott tells Lou Costello about a baseball team. You have to watch it to understand.
"I don't know... Third Base!"
Funny!
The point is that Medicare is as confusing as Abbott and Costello.
The point is, do younger people know about this old black and white comedy routine?
Here's an updated version from 2012.
"Who? What? Yes?"
Funny!
