mr. breezy

Maybe I'm the only one (in the whole world) who thinks this way, but whenever I hear the name Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints quarterback), I think of... Mr. Breezy. Here's why: the television show WKRP in Cincinnati.

You see, there was an episode that had a character named Norris Breeze. He was a radio consultant who was hired to review the station for Mama Carlson, the owner of WKRP. He had ulterior motives, so Andy Travis, the program director, decided to have each of the employees put on an 'act' for him. And Jennifer Marlowe, the blonde bombshell receptionist (and probably the smartest of all the employees) played dumb. Here's a sample dialogue I found online:

Norris: Well hello! I'm Norris Breeze.

Jennifer (in a high little-girl voice): Oh, Mr. Breezy! We've been expecting you. Would you like to sit down? We have all kinds of chairs. There's one over there, and there's another over there, and one - no, that's a clock.
