Random interjection. Leo is/was buried in a NJ town called Gillette. About 10 or so years ago, I lived in that area, and would routinely pass by the property where he was supposedly buried. But the grave is unmarked and on private property so we never explored the area. Don't even know if it's still there.

I always like the Tom and Jerry variant.
