Yes , It also points out that "hippies" did have parents and often  
got along with them and reflected their influence (Postman rings  
twice). Course that reflects also a secret passion of the imagination  
where the boss is killed and wealth redistributed. Not all that  
secret , there was this little incident of the American Revolution.  
Downstairs Eddie shows a great ear for naming habits, and makes him  
funnier for the moments of his brief appearance.
