Neil Leckman

He was born the milkman’s son, who evidently left more than an extra quart of milk at someone’s house. Learned as a boy that children should be seen not heard, for four years they didn’t realize he was gone, replaced by a cardboard cutout.

For a short time lived with a family of weasels just off the highway, learning to love roadkill and hiss at strangers. Went to the college of under achievers and graduated at the bottom of his class, had his parking validated and left. Spent years hanging out at funeral homes, afraid he’d be late for his own funeral if didn’t. While there learned standup comedy for laid back crowds. Spent time in the military learning how to wait in lines, and sleep through important meetings.
