    Many,many, many years ago when I was in grade five I had as a teacher an American Christian Brother named Bro. Jackson.Amongst the student body, there was boy with the surname of O'Dell. The Brother immediately started calling him "Digger". None of us knew what reference was being made here.In grade five very few people here NL (Canada) were familiar with American radio.When the "Life Of Reilly" came to TV my appreciation of "Digger" was finally launched. Years later I had audio tapes to which I listened to repeatidly and learned to really admire Digger's council to Reilly via puns related to the profession of undertaking.
