Show CLYDE FEL TED BR R 11 200 this paper. This is Italian mud right here (laughs). I 11 read it to you. A man had tw Iv bottles of whiskey in his cellar. His wife told him to empty them in the sink or else. Here's the story as he relates it. 'I told her I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink except for one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank.

I pulled the next cork out my throat and poured the sink down the bottle and drank the glass. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles and corks and glasses with the other, which were twenty. To make sure I had counted them again and when they came around and I had seventy-four. As the house came by I counted them again. Finally I had all the houses, bottles, corks and glasses counted, except for one house and bottle, which I drank. Phew' " (laughs) . I thought that was funny so I wrote it down.

CF: Well, things were very difficult. I wanted to go back to high school and graduate. So I went and talked to them, the principal out there, and he let me go back for six 11 |
