Your Harry Hartounian moment

Harry Hartounian was Navin R. Johnson's gas station boss in the movie The Jerk. When the new phone books arrived, Navin ran around the lot yelling, "The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!"
Harry looked on incredulously and proclaimed, "I wish I could get that excited about nothing."
Now it's your turn.
The LPGA is playing their first major of the year. Paula Creamer came back from a first round 1-over par to tie for the lead in the second round, against the best woman golfer in the world right now...
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) Lorena Ochoa and Paula Creamer stared over the water to a peninsula green on the par-5 18th hole at a different point in their rounds and a different time of day in the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
And while they reached different conclusions Friday, they wound up in the same position atop the leaderboard.
So, OK ... It isn't as exciting as a new phone book, but right now, it's all I have.
By the way, if I ever meet Bill Macy, I'm going to go up to him and say, "Stan Fox, buying gas!"
C'mon, the Optigrab.* I know ... another phone book.
.
* "Opti" for the eye, and "Grab" for where you grab it!
