Has anyone seen Moe Berg?

Looking for Moe Berg. Last spotted at a book seller on the Quai de Montebello in Paris. He has some back pay coming to him.

Dang,

Just last week I spent an hour in the rain waiting for him to show so that I could give him the 50 bucks I owe him.

Moe Berg? You just missed him. He was at the Maubourg Metro station, trying to take a nap. A little old lady who was hard of hearing kept asking what station it was. Every time someone shouted the answer to her, poor Moe bounded up off his bench and ran over to introduce himself. His buddy tried to tell him to stop. "No mo', Berg," he said, "don't run no mo'." But poor Moe just kept waking up and running every time he thought he heard his name.

When he was small, little Moe wanted to be a king when he grew up. He'd ask his teacher over and over if he was true loyalty. The teacher, not having the heart to be too blunt with the tyke, tried to hedge, saying, "perhaps, Berg, perhaps."

I saw him last week in Munich and he was looking sad!

So I asked him.." Are you in the Pitts, Berg"

I don't know which Moe Berg your talking about, but there was a Moe Berg who was a professional baseball player and WOrld War II spy/linquist. He spoke several languages and I believe had a degree from Columbia U. I think he passed away in the 70s or 80s.

I hope he didn`t drift into this area this morning or he would be ICE-Berg.

It was -30 Celsius (-27 Below).
