There was a bank in my town 25 years ago called The American Savings Bank. It always made me think of the Army book phrase: Take me to the American hospital. I'd hear Take me to the American Savings Bank.

I have to admit: in my mind, Dick Orkin is a 60's and 70's figure, so these "website" ads from the 90's are sort of amazing to me. Of course he was still working, but... I just didn't think about it.

Sound Sheets sound like flexi-discs (and they just mentioned UNIVAC!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Austin Rich:

From the wiki:

"The flexi disc (also known as a phonosheet, Sonosheet or Soundsheet, a trademark) is a phonograph record made of a thin, flexible vinyl sheet with a molded-in spiral stylus groove, and is designed to be playable on a normal phonograph turntable.

Flexible records were commercially introduced as the Eva-tone Soundsheet in 1962."
