    My dear Juan Enrique,

    They sold us "Amos" and delivered us "Kingfish".

    Only those who know "Amos 'n Andy" will know what I am talking about.

    "Amos" was the good guy who solved the problem for "Andy" caused by "Kingfish".

    The American Public is "Andy", which is to say the fool, the sucker, the sap.
