Short Fat Fannie

Of course not  a personal reference...., although I am not the tallest of persons. Indeed mine would be spelt "Fanny" and would be called a bottom, since I don't speak American.

No this was a 1957 smash hit for blues singer Larry Williams.  This rock n roll number was one of the first "novelty" records and was featured by many other groups in their touring sets, including The Beatles, who played in their cinematic homage to excellence, 1969's Let it Be.
He was also a firm friend of Little Richard....

Since diminutive seems to be the order of the day, it would be appropriate to mention the amount of time spent at my last transplant clinic.....16 minutes. That includes from the electronic ticket barrier opening, parking, walking to the clinic, sitting and waiting in the "waiting" room for the doctor.
My doctor having quickly reviewed my blood tests,was most pleased, and I was soon sent off on my merry little way. I was back at the ticket machine and out of the car park in a flash.

I know this because the ticket machine told me my length of visit and charged me ....zero. Parking for visits of less than 30 minutes are free! 

Which is gratifying to know. many times I have been short changed by that particular little machine.
