“Do you smell veal and peppers?” was the Tweet read ’round the world when David Letterman used Twitter for the first time ever while taping last night’s “Late Show with David Letterman.” 

And it may be among his last, if last night was any indication.

After the Tweet Letterman moaned, “I can tell [Tweeting's] not for me,” adding “I feel infantile” typing his every thought.

Nor does the idea of having Followers appeal to the talk show host. He groused, “I don’t need a crowd following me.”

Mostly, the idea of publicly expressing himself irked Letterman. He complained, “I know what I’m thinking.”

Over the course of the show, Letterman tweeted three times including, “I like Barbara. Do you?” about guest Barbara Walters, and “I’m making toast!” which he, in fact, did during the broadcast.
