Buying the kernel

Buying the kernel

I've heard tell that three of the Beatles (John, Paul and either Ringo or George, I forget which) were watching Saturday Night Live from John's apartment at the time. Paul thought it'd be a hoot to surprise SNL (who clearly were joking about the offer) by showing up that evening, and had convinced the other two to go along with it. Before they got a taxi, though, one (John?) had to go back to the apartment for something and they then decided not to bother.
