Man is the only animal that laughs and has a state legislature.

JF: for many decades of my adult life I lived (and Dial-A-Song resided) just about 5 blocks from 342 Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn where Manhattan Special Coffee Soda was made. It was widely available in the neighborhood, and while I was intrigued by it's cheerful label and local heritage, like so many older regional soda brands, I found it a bit too sweet! But GOOD LUCK TO ALL SODAS!
