answer but I really don't because I did you know I thought it was number one then I was sure it was number two and then I thought it was number three and so I just said to heck with it and I voted for number one John who did you vote for number two and what was your reason John i l that story about the boat Kitty carile you voted for number two and what was your reason I thought number two held herself rather like a model and that brings us to high Gardner you voted for I voted for number three uhhuh and your reason was well if uh Messi doesn't tell gimbal why should I tell you but I will as a matter of fact the reason I vote for number three is that I asked all three girls who Charlie eek house was and since he happens to sign the checks and he runs gimbles I thought that the number three might be the one they're paid in cash yeah but somebody has to sign a check before you can get cash even shoplifters W I don't think anybody ever paid a shoplifter with a check in any event uh
