THE GREEN HORNET
AS PHONY AS IT CAN BE
PREFACE

A couple of apologies are in order for this fanfic. First, to my fellow southpaws, I apologize for making the "creep" in the story a lefty. But remember, that's why we're special: if the villain were right-handed it wouldn't be worth mentioning! Secondly, apologies to the memory of Harold Morrison, whose name I chose for one of the villains. (Harold Morrison was a gifted banjo player who was a regular on the Wilburn Brothers' syndicated TV show in the 60s.)

I'd also like to acknowledge the origins of four items. Speaking of the Wilburn Brothers, one of their song titles ("Hurt Her Once for Me") is paraphrased in the story. I took the license number from the title of the song "Jenny (867-5309)" by Tommy Tutone. Lou Grant must be credited as the originator of the "inflammatory adjectives" phrase. Finally, the title comes from a line in the song "It's Only a Paper Moon".

As always, with much admiration and respect to the creators and actors of The Green Hornet,
