Pumps' Perplexities

The title of this blog is in reference to something I was taught
when I had my photography hobby many years ago......
I think the same axiom holds true some 50 years later.....

Have you noticed what has happened to TV "game shows"?...
"Deal Or No Deal" involves a stage full of girls, each holding
a briefcase, and a funny "master of ceremonies" with a cash
prize in the millions of dollars......All of this "theater" is used
to get better "ratings" than the programs on the other TV
channels......

In order to get good "ratings" years ago, all you needed was
a funny "master of ceremonies" who wore a beret and puffed
on an unlit cigar, two contestants and a "rubber duck" that
dropped from the ceiling once in a while........Better yet, if
a contestant answered the "dumb" questions correctly they
might win $500.......
