   My sole experience at acting was for a minor part in My Fair Lady in a   
   high school production. I had the part of Alfred E. Doolittle until   
   the director discovered that my acting skills are virtually non-   
   existent and my ability to remember my lines was at best laughable.   
   After thirty-seven years, I cannot remember my line, but I still   
   remember the lines of the leads, probably because the leads were on   
   stage during the rehearsals more than anyone else.
