<p>For those of you old enough to remember the “Rat Pack” and that it wasn’t something you called the pest control company for, Joey Bishop, the last remaining “member” of that Sinatra et. al. group, passed away today.</p>
<p>Brad Pitt and all ain’t got nuthin’ on the original Ocean’s 11.</p>
<p>R.I.P. Joseph Abraham Gottleib, aka Joey Bishop.</p>
<p>In actuality, the original “Rat Pack” was Bogart and a group of his friends.</p>
<p>Yes, true, the original Rat Pack were buddies of Bogie and Lauren Bacall, who was viewed as the “den mother”. She is credited with coining the phrase “Rat Pack” by commenting one night that a young Sinatra and some friends, upon returning from some “partying”, looked like a pack of rats.</p>
