« Satellite Recon - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C. | Main | SOLAR PANEL TAKE-OFF---Carl Schwab »
This television listing appeared in the newspaper some years ago. I kept it because I find it enormously entertaining to just sit and contemplate the whole thing as a study of human nature.
That awed looking guy on the left, I think he was of no concern at all to any of the other guys. Not in the slightest.

If you remove the parenthetical reference to J.P. Morgan which was inserted simply as an example of one of the "personalities" from the comment, it reads, '"Money and Power: The History of Business" includes profiles of personalities whose products and ideas shaped trade, banking, commerce and industry over the last 1000 years. To imply that the original writer meant that J.P. Morgan had influence over the last 1000 years, one must parse the sentence incorrectly-either unintentionally or on purpose so as to make a smart aleck posting!

The grammatical construction of the caption is not good. I remember the double-take moment when I first saw this. Unless J.P Morgan was way older than he looked, the absurdity was self evident.
That notion of life extension to extreme age brings to mind the concept of "spice" in the sci-fi novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert, but I doubt if the whites of J.P.'s eyes had been turned blue.
