There used to be this old guy down the street from us.  His name was Herman Galloway.  Everybody used to call him “Cookie”…. but I don’t know why.

But old Herman would always have a “saying” for everything.  Most of the time, they just didn’t make a bit of sense to me.

One of them….. he used to say, from time to time, was…. “There ain’t nothing fancy about Fancy Ketchup.  But.  If you see a fancy fence, you can bet good money……they got a gate that’s just as fancy.”

And there you have it.

Herman was right.

“Why not be oneself? That is the whole secret of a successful appearance. If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekingese?” – Dame Edith Sitwell
