IF ...lonely
Paul tells us that originally 'Father McKenzie' was 'Father McCartney'... in order to avoid association with his father he pulled McKenzie out of the phone book. ~~He didn't want people to "think it was about my dad sitting knitting his socks. Dad's a happy lad."

Phthalo Moons ~sturgeon
STURGEON MOON
The August full moon is known as the sturgeon moon. Come the summer something fishy is certain to be going on... at this time sturgeon are most easily caught, presumably because they are swimming all in a roe.

IF ...suspend
Benito Mussolini worked hard as dictator of Italy to have his totalitarian regime live on for decades only to find his power suspended -being out voted in 1943. With WWII concluding Il Duce was captured attempting to escape to Germany, summarily executed and then hung upside down at an Esso gas station in Milan for all to see.
what fell out of his pockets at the time remains a mystery to this day...
