I used to work for Captain Kangaroo!

It’s a showstopper kind of sentence that always gets attention. And yes, I say it all the time when I’m introducing myself. Can I admit I feel empowered, knowing my words ignite a magic energy that turns on lightbulbs of memories as a cascade of “Ohhhs," smiles and maybe a few giggles ripple around the room?

Each segment would always include Bunny Rabbit doing his best to try and trick the Captain out of a bunch of carrots, and Mr. Mouse would never fail to have a "knock-knock" joke. The Captain would usually be the victim of ping-pong balls cascading down on his head at some point in the show, usually as a result of something Bunny Rabbit had gotten away with. Mr. Green Jeans would bring in all sort
