Braling IIGood thinking, Butch!
And, Biplane, any W.C.Fields fan knows the word "proboscis"! Just one of his quotes as Egbert Sousé: "The jockey was a very insulting fellow. He referred to my proboscis as an adscititious excrescence. I had to tweak his nose."
Yes, indeed.

fjp451Hey, Sundance! Is that "SousEE" or "SousAE"
Snuffy Smith would have to be considered if there was a competition for persons possessing a proboscis of prodigious proportions -

Braling IIFields, of course, was playing with the word "souse". In "The Bank Dick" as Ebert Sousé,
someone pronounces his name as "souse", and he corrects them saying, "that's Sousé (soo-zay), accent grave over the 'e'."
(Though, if I'm right, he should've said accute accent..)
