That was kind of awesome.

I nearly choked on my tea just now. I was finishing the cup when I heard a James Cagney impression in the middle of a work conversation a few cubicles down.

"You dirty rat!"

:D

* Obv. it's all about the intonation and delivery, not the words, when it comes to that particular time-worn impression. ;)

AWESOME.

(Not the choking part, the Cagney part. ;-) )

Ha ha. That line always reminds me of Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce impersonating James Cagney in a M*A*S*H* talent show. Proof that one can learn of these things through many different paths.

*chortle*

Could have been, "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" instead.
And that could have been kinda disconcerting, you know (in light of what follows that exclamation.)

I'm a great admirer of James Cagney's films, and figure you just have to love a good Cagney impression.
