All right, oh yeah.
Speaker 6I never knowed which was her chins and which was her lips.
I never knowed where to kiss her.
Speaker 2We didn't, huh.
Speaker 6I finally worked out her sister though, What was that Anna, I'd hold a piece of candy up to her face and whatever opened up for it, that's what i'd care.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that was a smart idea, sort of using the candy, thought of a range find him.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 8Up to now, Andy, you seem to be pretty much in declared with the gal.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 6I can't think of nobody that could cause me no sueing trouble.
Not a single gal.
I wait a minute, there is one that I just thunk of that I might have preposed her.
Yeah, there is one that I oh, hello, Henry, Hello boy, Hello, I was just out shopping with my wife that i'd stop in.
Speaker 2We met that Sylvia Adams.
She was shopping for her true saul.
That's the one I members now.
Speaker 6I preposed to her about two weeks ago, when I was sitting on a sofa ware when I asked her to marry me, she just smiled.
I never didn't figure out whether she smiled yes or smiled no.
Speaker 2Well, from what I see to her shopping today.
Speaker 6I would say that she definitely smiled in the infirmative.
Henry, is you show that it was a truth sold that she was buying?
Well, I seed her by a long white dress.
It had orange blossoms embroidered all over it.
She bought sort of a net veil that went over her heead.
And most important of all, there was a long train behind her.
Speaker 2Do that long train behind.
Speaker 1Her make her a bride?
Bro then it don't make no engineer.
Speaker 6Well, fellas they got me again.
I can't stand another breach of promise.
Speaker 1You well, what is he gonna do?
Speaker 6Come on, King Frish, We're going over to see my lawyer, Gabby Gibson.
Speaker 1Oh dare you Gabby?
Speaker 8And it feels pretty sure that steals your atoms is gonna sue him for breaching promos.
Speaker 1Now, how are you gonna handle the thing?
Speaker 6Well, first we got to see if he's got a case.
Yes, and even got to see if he's got a case.
I know we'll claim that.
And wasn't in his right man mind when he proposed he was a little testing the head.
Oh but Gabby, I was the same as I always good.
We got a case, But Gabby you don't get the idea.
I don't want to be sued at all.
Speaker 5Oh, I see what you mean.
I see what you mean.
He wants to be what's noting the legal profession as sue proud.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's the exactly the idea, Gabby.
Speaker 6Well it becomes suit prooved.
There's only one way, only one way.
If you was in Darman, if you was a soldier, you couldn't sue.
Nobody can sue a soldier.
Speaker 2Well wait a minute, yeah, wait a minute.
Speaker 6You think I is in good enough condition to pass the physical for the army?
Speaker 1Oh and that don't be crazy.
You got all you can do to pass the physical.
Speaker 10For being a civilian.
Yes, indeed, I guess you're right.
Speaker 5That fat on him?
Look at that fat.
Speaker 6Now wait a minute, Gabby, there's plenty of muscle there.
Speaker 5Quand where in my arm here?
Speaker 6Feel it?
Let me feel him.
People's getting two red ration points, will turning into that stuff?
Speaker 9Ah?
Speaker 8Weird a minute, yere, I got another idea.
Since and they can't get into him, why can't he borrow a soldier's uniform just long enough to see the girl and convince her that she can't sue him?
Speaker 1Because he's in the armen that will end it.
Speaker 6Oh, King Fisher got a great idea, and it just so happens that Larry Simpson just got a medical discharge from the Army.
Speaker 2I can borrow his uniform.
Speaker 6Yeah, and you certainly got to right take these steps, because at all the beach of promiseus you has had you show up in a victim, a victim of the laws, supplying the.
Speaker 2Man the sublime demand.
Speaker 6How you figure that, Well, it's always the women who supply the trouble, and the man who gets it that's supplying the man if ire of the head.
Just now, let's go back to the lodge hall and hear the mystic Nights of the Sea quartet singing Running Wild.
Speaker 11Run running loss controls running Wi murdy boy, christ to helping mine all the time, never bo, always.

Speaker 1Well, let me see your end of the legings look pretty good.
Speaker 8Their pants seem to fit already, the jagged with the belt, and yeah, the brains buttons don't look bad, neither only thing?
And uh, why are you wearing that steel?
Speaker 1Hell?
Speaker 6Well, this fellow I buy the uniform from, don't give his cloth hat to his little nephew for a souvenir.
