I kid you not. It took me nine years to realize the pun underlying 'The Beatles', sixty one years to notice the spelling of 'Jonny Quest', and, until someone recently brought it to my attention, the pun in the following six letter word. 
    Thank you Aron Ra.
ADDENDUM: On October 7, 2025, I met with my British friend, Trish Keefer for a belated birthday lunch at Bella Siena in Benicia. There, I related my not readily catching on to things, citing the example of "The Beatles" to her dumbfounded amazement! 
    "Until you told me, I had no idea whatsoever of the pun!" Trish revealed, sixty three years out! The Fab Four's deliberate English "Beat" music reference had slipped completely past her as well. Trish always assume the naming convention was merely tying into to the band's iconic haircut and nothing more.
    So that makes two of us with steel trap minds!
