Or a jaw breaker. That would serve as a space holder AND a tasty snack!
fireball.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

yes, looks like a ficus- ben fig don't you think?

I think so, because you know your plants, Dot.  Are those leaves red?  My colorblindness says no, but the oddball way that I detect colors says...maybe.

He had retinoblastoma as a young child, they had to take his eye out.
@anniem
Once when he was playing in a Little League game, the umpire called him out. Falk thought that he was safe. He pulled his glass eye out of its socket and handed it to the umpire, telling him, "Here, I think you might need this."
My favorite Falk movie is The In-Laws (1979).  Vince Ricardo "Serpentine Shelly. Serpentine!"

When Peter Falk moved from TV to the movies, from what I remember it was rare for an actor to go from TV to the movies - at least rare for stars to do so.  I was just a kid though, it that correct for that era?

my thought was a deep green...but I have been known to be wrong!

Hi there.
            We all got here
O.K. now that you two are
at home, and on the ball
working again.  We eat at
this place, may try to
fish some while we are
here, no Jack Pots down
here. 
        Love Mayme P.
