WELCOME to TUESDAY JUNE 23th, 2026

Here’s The Story…..
Bob Hill and his new wife, Betty, are vacationing in Europe; as it happens, in Transylvania.
They’re driving a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It’s late, and raining very hard.
Bob can barely see 10 feet in front of the car.
Suddenly the car skids out of control! Bob attempts to control the car, but to no avail.
The car swerves and smashes into a tree. Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear
the fog. Dazed, he looks over at the passenger seat and sees his new wife unconscious, with her head bleeding.
Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to carry her to the nearest phone.
Bob carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road. After a short while, he sees a light.
He heads towards the light, which is coming from an old, large house. He approaches the door and knocks.

A minute passes. A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts, “Hello, my name is Bob Hill,
and this is my wife, Betty. We’ve been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt.
Can I please use your phone?”

“I’m sorry,” replies the hunchback, “but we don’t have a phone. My master is a doctor. Come in and I will get him.”

Bob brings his wife in. An elegant man comes down the stairs. “I’m afraid my assistant may have misled you.
I am not a medical doctor. I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had
basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory.”

With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely. Igor places Betty
on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries; so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table.

After a brief examination, Igor’s master looks worried. “Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion.”

Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill are no more.

The Hills’ deaths upsets Igor’s master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory,
which houses his pipe organ. For it is here that he has always found solace. He begins to play,
and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house.

Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. As the music fills the lab, his eyes catch movement.
He notices the fingers on Betty Hill’s hand twitch. Stunned, he watches as Bob’s arm begins to rise!
He is further amazed as Betty sits straight up!
Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory. He bursts in and shouts to his master:
” Master, Master!…The Hills are alive with the sound of music! ” 😮😬😁😂😎
 
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Tuesday’s Movie Trivia of the day!  
Here’s the first sentence containing a Best Picture Oscar winner within it:
“H. Bogart is as dramatic as a B. Lancaster.”
Hiding within that sentence is a Best Picture Oscar winner. Figure out which it is,
and then see which of the clue answers best applies.

Answer:  Black and white film! You can find the film in the sentence: “H. Bogart is as dramatiC AS A B. LANCAster.”
“Casablanca” won the award for the film year 1943 at the 16th Academy Awards held on March 2, 1944. The romantic drama is set during World War II, in late 1941 in Casablanca, Morocco, a city under Vichy French control, with Rick Blaine’s (Humphrey Bogart) “Rick’s Café Américain” at the center. The city was a place for refugees trying desperately to escape to neutral Lisbon and then to America. The film contains one of the cinema’s all-time greatest scenes in which the patrons are cowed by the overbearing Nazis present one night, who boisterously sing “Die Wacht am Rhein.” Rick comes downstairs watching the scene, seeing how the intimidated everyone is. Resistance leader Victor Laszlo stomps over to Rick’s house band who have also meekly stood down, and he orders them to play “La Marseillaise” (the French national anthem). The conductor glances up and over to Rick on the stairs, who gives him a simple nod. The conductor then turns to his band and they begin playing it. More and more the patrons find their courage to stand up and sing their national anthem, until the Nazis are the ones who are overpowered-cut to the shot of actress Madeleine Lebeau as Yvonne in close up, tears streaming down her face belting out the song. If you don’t break down sobbing, you’re made of stone.
