Default Why Tomato Grafts are like Monty Python Quotes

I'm not dead yet!" ... "I'm not dead, I'm not dead, I'm getting better, I don't want to go on the cart, I feel fine I think I'll go for a walk...

My daily new tomato graft observations.
Look at grafts in their humidity test, they look to be in various versions of a sort of OK state
Take them out for some air
Ruh roh, I think I killed them.
Back in humidity
Sad droop for a day or so
I'm not dead yet!

Of my four attempts I have:
1: I think I'll go for a walk
1: I'm getting better
1: I'm not dead yet
1: Almost certainly nearly dead

Any of them turn into a "parrot", yet?

They are just asleep. They are taking a nap.

Every graft is sacred,
every graft is great!
If a graft is wasted,
God gets quite irate!

Sorry for the drift, but I haven't read through all the named dwarf variety projects so please excuse my ignorance. But is there a Dwarf Norwegian Blue? Or a Roger the Shrubber? What about an Albatross?
