Spud,

Thank for all of the investigative work.  Reading the entire scene and knowing
where it comes from makes alot of difference in the long run.  Now when he
quotes from this verse (if I get around to watching the tape(s)) it will
give me the opportunity to take the entire verse into consideration.

That's OK, we appreciate all the effort you took to bring us this information.

Yup, it's like a week or so ago when Jack fantasized to the song Wonderful (or
is it Oh so wonderful?).  Anyway the only song that I could think of was that
one and I still don't remember the name of the song but, I could sing all of
the lyrics.  My family really loves it when I go around the house singing :-)
