wondering what we should see in   new york and what we shouldn't well you should see  the world trade center and the wall street area   they're pretty big and right in manhattan also the  statue of liberty that's pretty obvious central   park is pretty big i don't see how you could miss  that one if i'm guessing right you shouldn't see   the alician islands that's in alaska and although  they're big too it's just too damn far away i   also have my doubts about you seeing any of south  dakota can you believe it's still snowing up there paul rooney please give this nice  young man two t-shirts

this has been money well  spent that's right uh okay you have uh do you   have a question for mr mellman yes i do uh i'm  up here on spring break and driving up i noticed   that why is it you always seem to get better  gas mileage on the first half of a tank of gas   i'm glad you asked that question bill the reason  is because any dirted sludge in your gasoline   tends to settle in the lower part of your  gas tank when this dirty gas is drawn into   the engine it burns less efficiently and lowers  your mileage do what i do never let your tank   get below three quarters full just pull into every  gas station you see and topper off sure it takes   a lot of time but i have nothing better to do  do you thank you for your interesting questions   it was an interesting question we have a t-shirt  thank you bob there you are have a nice vacation   thank you folks we ran out of time i'm lawfully  sorry what is your name susan spelling susan we   don't have time for your question and i feel  that you perhaps are the luckiest of the bunch   uh we have to pause we'll be right back  folks so return won't you thank you
