                            Self deprecating humor can lead them astray.

                              How did this guy ever invent the sewing machine?

                              Elias Howe is not the same person as is Edgar Howe.

                              That's correct. Edgar Howe was the founder of the Cold Clams franchise at Redondo Beach.

                              Elias Howe invented the machine that sews two halves of a clamshell together, which was much appreciated by all who do not like sandy fried clams. When he was praised for his invention, he merely said "shucks."

                                Open you mouth and close your eyes and you will get a big surprise. Straight from Aristophanes to my childhood.

                                I had no idea that Aristophanes was such a prankster.
