OSCAR? WHO?

I paid a shiva call to Robby (Phylis's son) today. I was one on one shmoozing/reminiscing with him. Suddenly, the two love birds in the cage started making a racket and Robby told me Phylis got the love birds after Oscar died. "Weren't they Mark's?" he asked. "No" I said, then thinking to myself, just one of the few pets we tried that didn't work. Pimples????
