and Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 0:41
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steered clear of crazy take a side road to Saturday and enjoy about a half hour of trivia. Okay, Marcia, here’s the question. What future American president campaign for his first election to public office by distributing rum wine, beer and cider to potential voters?

Marcia Smith 1:06
Ah, can you give me a century?

Bob Smith 1:09
Oh, sure. The 18th century.

Marcia Smith 1:14
So is it someone like I get I don’t know a lot of those presidents after the after the founding fathers. Right. He is

Bob Smith 1:20
one of the founding fathers. Yes. In fact, he is the founding father. Well, the George Washington day was he he sought election to the Virginia House of Burgesses from Fairfax County, and he campaigned for votes with 28 gallons of rum, 50 gallons, 50 gallons of Rum Punch 34 gallons of wine, 46 gallons of beer and two gallons of cider Royale. The county only had 391

Marcia Smith 1:50
voters. Oh my god. And these were hearty. We think

Bob Smith 1:53
of millions of dollars being spent. That was a lot of money being spent on 391

Marcia Smith 1:58
vote. Party hearty George.

Bob Smith 2:01
So apparently George thought it was important to

Marcia Smith 2:04
make every bookcase the electorate so libre eight I think isn’t that interesting? That is funny. So Bob, did you ever wonder why do the hands of a clock move to the right,

Bob Smith 2:17
that is a good question is because we I think it would be because we read left to right. And so they thought well, let’s mimic the movement.

Marcia Smith 2:26
Okay, because clocks were invented in the northern hemisphere, and the hands followed the same direction as the shadows on a sundial.

Bob Smith 2:35
Oh, that’s so it’s mimics the shadows sundial ever think of I never thought of that.

Marcia Smith 2:41
If that dudes that invented it. Were in the southern hemisphere, the sundial move the other way. Oh, I didn’t think about that. True. Yeah, really? So clockwise would be in the opposite direction today. If somebody else invented it down now. downunder

Bob Smith 2:56
Wow. I had no idea that is amazing. When you think of and

Marcia Smith 3:00
common sense, actually. No, it’s not common sense.

Unknown Speaker 3:05
I told you it was amazing. Okay. All right. Do

Marcia Smith 3:07
you have a question? Yes,

Bob Smith 3:09
I do. And it comes from your favorite category animal facts. Okay, this is a new discovery. Okay. They’re known as ferocious fighters. They can smell blood in the water. But what’s the latest scary thing we’re learning about sharks?

Marcia Smith 3:27
They have tooth decay. No,

Bob Smith 3:29
there’s that scary. Why would that be scary?

Speaker 1 3:31
Oh, yeah, they’re gonna lose their teeth. Well, that’s scary. Scary to sharks we’re talking about okay,

Marcia Smith 3:37
to us. I don’t know they carry some horrific molecule that can is poison. No.

Bob Smith 3:43
Oh, some of them glow in the dark. Oh, a study published last week in frontiers of Marine Science established that kite fin sharks, the species that grows to almost six feet in length emits blue green light. Now these sharks live well below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. They found me we didn’t know before. That’s That’s right. They found these 2600 feet below the surface of the Pacific off the New Zealand coast. And they saw these luminous fish, glowing fish and they are sharks. And apparently that serves multiple purposes. Number one, they can avoid detection by larger predators. Because from the bottom you look up and it just looks like the blue of the water up there. And they’re kind of invisible. But also they apparently illuminate the floor as they glide over it. And they find their dinner food down there their shrimp and squid on the seafloor. So they think there are a couple of purposes scuba divers. Yes. And the interesting thing what causes this in the shark? It’s the hormone melatonin. As scientists Dr. Jerome malapit says it makes us fall asleep but it lights up the shark. Okay, yeah, that’s curious. So glowing sharks. I know I can’t imagine anything scarier than that. Oh my god. Oh,

Marcia Smith 5:04
natural. Yeah. Okay, you titillated me with your question last week about the number 100 best movie quote was, I’m king of the world from Titanic. Yes, yes. And that was from the American Film Institute, the American Film Institute. So I went and read them all. So I have I have the top 10 Here. Can you name any of the top five guests? You’ve seen all these movies? Can you

Bob Smith 5:31
give me the names of the movies? Now guess the lines are the other way around.

Marcia Smith 5:34
I thought I’d do it the other way. But this would be easier and you do need a little help. Okay, what does

Bob Smith 5:40
that mean? I don’t like the way you said. Okay. I’ll

Marcia Smith 5:43
give you a little too benevolent. Okay, Bob, you

Bob Smith 5:46
know your problem. Let me

Marcia Smith 5:48
do this. Okay, you’re right. This will help you out a lot. I’ll give you the movie. First one. Gone With the Wind.

Bob Smith 5:54
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn right

Marcia Smith 5:57
on. And as a tip of the hat to our screenwriter son, Benjamin Christopher. I’m going to say who the writer was on these film. Okay, good. Okay. Written by Sidney Howard, Barbara Key and Lydia Schiller, two women and Connie Earl. They were the screenwriters for film with the wind. Yeah, for writers and they hit five directors. They had a lot of problems.

Bob Smith 6:19
You know, they had that that was the way it was with some of those big films back then the Wizard of Oz had, I think three different directors that went yeah. And then I don’t know how many screenwriters Yeah.

Marcia Smith 6:28
All right. Number two is the Godfather 1972 The original godfather? Yes,

Bob Smith 6:35
that was gonna make you an offer. You can’t lose you.

Marcia Smith 6:38
This is just a cornucopia of bobbed voices in this category. This is great. Yes, you’re absolutely right. On the Waterfront.

Bob Smith 6:49
Oh, that was a good bit of content. Yep. Could have been somebody

Marcia Smith 6:54
that’s right. Instead of a bomb, which is what I am. Well, I

Bob Smith 6:58
wouldn’t call myself that.

Marcia Smith 7:00
But on the waterfront, you’re right, written by Budd

Bob Smith 7:02
Schulberg. Schulberg a famous screenwriter.

Marcia Smith 7:06
Yep, that was number three. Number four all time. Tap movie quotes from you just mentioned this the Wizard of Oz. Hmm. I’ll

Bob Smith 7:16
get you my pretty and your little dog too is one but I think it’s there’s no place like home. No. What is it?

Marcia Smith 7:22
You’re right. You name two very popular, but it’s toto I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. Of course.

Bob Smith 7:28
Yeah. People have used that many times.

Marcia Smith 7:32
And who wrote the Wizard of Oz know Langley, Florence. Ryerson and Edgar Allan Wolf. Okay. Okay. Well, here’s a surprise number five Casablanca. Okay.

Speaker 2 7:42
Well, let’s see, Louis, I get a feeling this is gonna be a good beautiful friendship. Let’s see what is it? Got obviously, Humphrey Bogart. And I think it’s the one where he says, maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But you know what he said?

Marcia Smith 7:59
Don’t tell me he didn’t say that. He said it but no. Number five is oh, wait a minute.

Bob Smith 8:03
It’s about Of All the Gin Joints in the world.

Marcia Smith 8:06
Wasn’t that one. It’s the one and you’ll kick yourself. Here’s looking at you, kid.

Bob Smith 8:11
Oh, just kick myself. He’s looking at you kid. Okay, of course.

Marcia Smith 8:16
And that was written by Julius and Philip Epstein and Howard catch.

Bob Smith 8:20
Okay, now here are some things that were not well named or not well written. I’ve got three famous names. Lake Tahoe, La Brea Tar Pits, and the Milky Way galaxy.

Marcia Smith 8:34
Places we all want to go on vacation. Absolutely. Where?

Bob Smith 8:37
What do those three things have in common? And I’m talking about poorly written

Marcia Smith 8:44
bad movies. No, not bad movies.

Bob Smith 8:47
Lake Tahoe, La Brea Tar Pits, or the Milky Way galaxy? I don’t know. They are all redundant place names. Lake Tahoe means Lake Lake. Oh, really? Yeah. Because it gets its name from a loose pronunciation of a word of the Native American language. That means the lake so it’s Lake Lake. the La Brea Tar Pits is the tar. That’s what libreria Oh, the tar Tar Pits okay.

Marcia Smith 9:11
And Milky Way way is milky. The

Bob Smith 9:15
word galaxy in Greek means milky. So it’s the Milky Way milky. Milky Way galaxy. Is that funny.

Marcia Smith 9:24
But anyway, I got a question for you, Bob from our listener in Louisville, Kentucky. Okay, honey, awesome. Okay. She wants to know if you know what unique feature was built into the Eiffel Tower.

Bob Smith 9:41
unique feature built into the Eiffel. Well remember when we were there? We went to the very top and there’s a apartment up there a little apartment. That’s it.

Marcia Smith 9:49
Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. And he used it to entertain distinguished guests. And it’s on the third level the top and it can be seen as you ride up the elevator later, but actually it didn’t they recreate a little bit up there

Bob Smith 10:02
a little. Remember, we looked through a window and there was like a wax figure of Eiffel and Thomas Edison, I believe, Oh, okay. Yeah, apparently he had people musicians up there and famous people up there. It was kind of like a way to show people they never

Marcia Smith 10:17
used it as an apartment. But it was a perk to show off that.

Bob Smith 10:21
Well, there was a rumor I heard a rumor years ago that it was used for romantic tryst, it is Paris, Bob. But I’ve never seen any evidence of that. But I remember that was in a, I think, a book we had on six lives of famous people or something. And we had to get rid of we had to get rid of that because our teenage daughter started reading one night when we went away. Okay, that’s enough. Okay. Thanks to Jenny Russell, for giving us that question. That’s great. And we invite anyone else who has a question to send it to us by going to our website, the off ramp dot show, and going to

Marcia Smith 10:54
contact us just tell us where you’re from and who you are.

Bob Smith 10:56
Give us the question. Oh, yeah, the answer. And who do you want to answer that question Who to answer stump Marcia with this? I’m looking for some of those.

Marcia Smith 11:08
All right, Bob, there’s a very popular whiskey. You don’t pay much attention to booze, but there’s a popular whiskey on the shelves right now. And it’s called Uncle nearest premium whiskey. Really? Yeah. Who the heck is Uncle nearest? He’s

Bob Smith 11:23
the uncle that’s nearest me. It’s Uncle Bill, I think. No, no, I don’t know.

Marcia Smith 11:28
Well, therein lies an interesting story, Bob about an old former slave by the name of Nathan green nickname nearest who taught a young Jack Daniel how to make whiskey. No kidding.

Bob Smith 11:42
I don’t think I’ve ever heard that story. No, and a lot

Marcia Smith 11:44
of people haven’t. And that’s why a woman and author named Ffawn Weaver, an African American woman was drawn to the little known story of green and set out to research him for a book and a movie, maybe Okay, she and her husband bought the original Jack Daniel distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. They had a realtor named Sherry Moore. And long after they bought it, they found out she turned out to be a descendant of Jack Daniels with a long career in the Tennessee whiskey industry. And she said, if you really want to honor nearest, instead of with a book or a movie, or whiskey would do it. And if you ever decide to make whiskey, I’ll come out of retirement to make sure you get it right. Oh, really? Yeah, isn’t that cool? Long story short, fawn Weaver went full steam ahead. And since 2017, she has captured more than 160 awards for her premium whiskey and is experiencing triple digit growth. And just recently, it was announced that her whiskey was the best selling African American owned and founded spirit brand in history. And who

Bob Smith 12:56
would have thought of that? That’s fascinating. I had no idea. So Jack, Daniel learned his whiskey making from an old slave former

Marcia Smith 13:03
slave. Yeah. So uncle Neris has found his fame because the numbers are growing rapidly. And for Weaver the brand is a testament to a remarkable history of a white orphan boy, Daniel, and an African American elder who worked side by side with mutual respect.

Bob Smith 13:22
That is fantastic. I love that story. Yeah, like you said that will continue his memory much longer than just a movie or a book. Yeah. Because the

Marcia Smith 13:30
and I’d like to research how the heck he got that name nearest.

Bob Smith 13:33
That’s true. He’s dearest. Well, you know how slaves were named is kind of interesting. I have a question mark. Very simple. Why do we carpet, the floors in our cars?

Marcia Smith 13:45
sound vibrations?

Bob Smith 13:47
That’s exactly the reason that’s the main reason yeah, there are all kinds of noises emanating from the bottom of the vehicle while it’s running. And the synthetic fabrics and carpeting helped to absorb the sounds by some estimates as much as 40% so it’s an inexpensive way to insulate drivers from a considerable racket that would be coming into the car from the undercarriage. Yeah, they say it also acts as insulation that keeps the car warm when the heater is on and finally any spills on a metal surface could lead to rust or other damage but for manufacturers carpeting is cheap, beneficial, hides a lot of the dirt and grime and it’s the most practical design solution available for noise suppression. Make

Marcia Smith 14:29
sense?

Bob Smith 14:30
I think it’s time to take a break. It

Marcia Smith 14:31
is fine. Okay,

Bob Smith 14:33
we’ll be back in just a moment. You’re listening to Bob and Marsha Smith on the off ramp. We’re back you’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marcia Smith.

Marcia Smith 14:45
Okay, Roberta. I call him Roberta sometimes because his name is Robert Andrew Smith and Robert

Bob Smith 14:54
A. The A sometimes gets hooked right to that first name.

Marcia Smith 14:58
I like at airports. Well, right Berta Smith, please report. That

Bob Smith 15:02
was when I was working at Rockwell and I was with a bunch of folks who were my co workers and staff and we were at some airport I forget where but then the PA had said, Well, Roberta Smith, please come to the desk, Roberta Smith. So I said, Okay, I guess it’s me and I walked up out loud if it’s

Unknown Speaker 15:19
funny. All right, Roberta. Yeah.

Bob Smith 15:22
Benjamin Franklin vastly improved the colonial postal service for the British crown in 1732. This is before the United States came into being. But there was a selfish motivation for helping to get the colonial postal system off the ground. What was it? Well, it was something he was doing on the side.

Marcia Smith 15:46
Oh, he had it. Cash. I was some kind of mail order things a

Bob Smith 15:50
publication? Oh, the almanac? Yes. Poor Richard’s Almanac. He wanted to improve the circulation of his Poor Richard’s Almanac and his Pennsylvania Gazette because he was a publisher. So the almanac reached a circulation of 10,000 at one time, which was alive, and Franklin doubled and tripled postal service in some areas. And he increased the speed of mail carriers helped to consolidate the roads from Maine to Georgia. I mean, Benjamin Franklin did a lot of good stuff here. That consolidated road later became route one on the East Coast. And it was all because he wanted to increase the circulation of his magazines.

Marcia Smith 16:24
Well, that’s, that’s enlightening. That’s funny. Well, we often do that is not exactly altruistic, but it did eventually help everybody and it helped

Bob Smith 16:33
the British Crown he produced three times the postal revenues that England’s other favorite colony Ireland produced and the English crown was pleased.

Unknown Speaker 16:43
Very good. Alright.

Bob Smith 16:44
Would you be willing to hear some more redundant place names here?

Marcia Smith 16:47
Sure.

Bob Smith 16:49
Many Hana falls ever heard of that place in Minnesota?

Marcia Smith 16:52
Mini Hana is Indian for falls. That’s

Bob Smith 16:56
right. It’s wonderful falls. That’s what it stands for. The Sahara Desert. Sahara means desert. How? Okay, so it’s a desert desert. So what it stands for, and El Camino away you’ve probably heard of that as a street away way street in Palo Alto, California. Yeah, the way way and if you drive in your Chevy El Camino, you will be driving your way down the way way in the way.

Marcia Smith 17:24
Thank you for sharing. Okay. Just just a quickie Bob. The sixth most popular movie quote was from the movie Sudden Impact, Sudden Impact. What was it? I don’t know. Come on. This is this is in your wheelhouse of voices.

Speaker 2 17:40
Is this a Clint Eastwood? Yeah. Okay. Sudden Impact, Sudden Impact Dirty Harry said an impact. And he said, Go ahead. Make my that was when the guy was grabbing the gun. The gun was laying there and go ahead. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 17:55
yeah. Do you realize you can do almost all the impressions of the top six quotes?

Bob Smith 17:59
But I liked about was that that one where he goes, you know? Come to think of it. Did I shoot six rounds or only five? And then he says about the Magnum could blow ahead somebody’s head clean off. I used to know that thing by heart.

Marcia Smith 18:17
I bet our son can just quote these by the paragraphs which got

Bob Smith 18:20
to ask you. Do I feel lucky? We’ll do your pump. That’s my favorite. Gary Yingling and I, he was another guy at Rockwell. And we used to do that across the rooms in meetings like well, did he, you know, back and forth. People thought we were nuts, I think are dueling Clint Eastwood impressions. Hey, I’ve got some interesting music questions for you here. Okay. In the late 1970s. The Eagles included a country rock song entitled, I wish you peace on one of their albums. Now. Bernie Leadon of the Eagles wrote that song with his girlfriend at the time. His girlfriend was a very famous Well, she had a very famous father who helped Bernie leading to the Eagles write the song wish you peace.

Marcia Smith 19:05
These are questions for you. Not for me. I don’t know who

Bob Smith 19:08
Patti Reagan. Really Ronald Reagan’s daughter. Yeah, no kidding. The record label credits Bernie Leadon and Patti Davis and Patti Davis was a pseudonym used by Patti Reagan. Nancy Davis was her mother.

Marcia Smith 19:21
Yeah, that’s right. That’d be done. Well, that comes out of nowhere. All right.

Bob Smith 19:25
Now, what do music stars Leon Russell, Glen Campbell, David gates and Billy Preston have in common?

Marcia Smith 19:32
She’s, I don’t know. They have a common

Bob Smith 19:35
background. They all did something together in 1969. It goes way back. But if you’re a person of a certain age, you remember a show called Shindig? Oh, of course. Well, they played in the band. Really. There was a band on that show Shindig. And this is all before all of us became famous. Leon Russell was a piano player Glen Campbell was a guitarist David Gates, who later went on to form the group bread was a good forest and Billy Preston who played with the Beatles on some of their ladder hits, including get back. They were all in the shindig orchestra on the show was that show on every

Unknown Speaker 20:10
day or every week? It was every week. Yeah, it was ABC. I

Marcia Smith 20:12
never missed it had my little white boots to prove it.

Bob Smith 20:17
And here’s one more Leon Russell and David gates were in the same tulsa oklahoma high school band together. Oh,

Speaker 1 20:23
no kidding. They went way back. That’s very cool. Yeah. Okay, so just

Bob Smith 20:26
some rock’n’roll facts. All right.

Marcia Smith 20:28
So you ever wonder what that sound is? You hear when you hold a seashell up to your ear. Bob is the

Bob Smith 20:34
sound of the ocean Martian. Nobody ever explained that to you. It’s just the cupping is the way the sound rolls around in the sound show. The sound of the

Marcia Smith 20:44
air? No.

Bob Smith 20:45
What is it? It is fairies, isn’t it? No. Yes, the Arthur Conan Doyle fairies.

Marcia Smith 20:52
Matter of fact, it’s the blood surging through your veins in your ear. And when it’s cupped a cup shape object is placed over your ear produces the same effect as that. But you hear when you hold the sounds like the rushing water. Really? Yeah, it’s just the blood going through your veins. Good Lord.

Bob Smith 21:13
I didn’t know that. Yeah. I thought it was the ocean all this time. Marsh you remember the last show? I mentioned that. Two things that were introduced at the World’s Fair in 1876 member

Marcia Smith 21:26
of banana and our phone, the telephone,

Bob Smith 21:28
telephone and the banana? Yeah, well, Budweiser beer and hires Root Beer also were introduced at that show. Budweiser beer won top honors in a competition at the fair developed by Adolphus Busch, who was already producing 15 other brands. He introduced refrigerated rail cars for all of its beers. Hires Root Beer household extract was promoted at the fair with the display of dried roots barks and herbs. Charles Hire was going to call his new drink herb tea. But he was convinced by a friend Russell Conwell

Unknown Speaker 22:02
to call it root beer. Okay.

Bob Smith 22:05
He said that the hard drinking Pennsylvania coal miners would be more attracted to root beer than herb tea.

Marcia Smith 22:09
Yeah. And that man was right.

Bob Smith 22:12
I think it would have been a lot less successful. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 22:15
Beer. I agree. Okay, what is unusual about the 15th century stone, kissed by Joan of Arc, and located in the Joan of Arc chapel at Marquette University. It

Bob Smith 22:29
still has the lip marks on No, I didn’t know that. And this is at Marquette University in Milwaukee. And they had the Joan of

Marcia Smith 22:37
Arc stone. Yeah, well, it was a stone kissed by her stone Kiss by Joan of Arc is there Yeah. And it’s it’s kind of a paranormal thing. You know what it is? It’s very unusual. And there’s no question that it it’s ever since the kiss that stone has remained mysteriously colder than any stone surrounding it. You can touch it and it’s unusually cold. Wasn’t she burned at the stake?

Bob Smith 23:03
Yeah, she was. She was 19 years old man that she’s

Marcia Smith 23:06
you believe it now. Okay, you got one. I do have

Bob Smith 23:10
you know, we know of the musical Hamilton, one of the villains in Hamilton is Aaron Burr, right, who later went on to kill Hamilton. And he was vice president for time. But did you know that there is a famous American university that he helped found? No, I did not Princeton University. Oh, really? It began as the College of New Jersey and Newark. And it was founded by a group of Presbyterian ministers, including Aaron Burr. Many people don’t know he was a member of the clergy. Really? Yeah. He served

Marcia Smith 23:39
as well. He was rather murderous for clergy. Yeah. He

Bob Smith 23:42
served as the president of Princeton from 1748 to 1757. And he moved it. He’s the man who moved it to Princeton in 1756. It didn’t change its name to Princeton University until 1896. Recently, but he of course, he is known to more history students as the man who killed Alexander Hamilton. All right, but he founded the university.

Marcia Smith 24:04
Well, going back to the good old days. What’s unusual, Bob about the music to the Star Spangled Banner? Oh, I had a story about that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, then you should know the answer. Well, it was.

Bob Smith 24:16
It was a English tune. And a Korean and heaven to Anna Korean and heaven. It was written by English composer John Stafford Smith.

Marcia Smith 24:25
Yes. But it was a little more than that. It was. It was a drinking song. I heard that too. Yeah. So Francis Scott Key was taken prisoner during the war, the war of 1812. Yes, it was an English drinking song BAP written by John Stafford Smith. And it honored an ancient Greek poet called what it how did you pronounce it and a Korean but that’s correct. He was known for being a great lover of wine. Oh, that’s why it became English pub drinking song. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, Star Spangled Banner and And yeah, and Francis Scott Key had been in a pub the night before he was captured. And so that song was apparently still in his head.

Bob Smith 25:07
Oh, so maybe he wrote it to the music. Do you know what he was doing the night he witnessed the rockets red glare and wrote the words to the national anthem,

Marcia Smith 25:15
what he was doing? Yeah. Wasn’t he in prison at the time? No, or he was on a ship. He was on a ship. Ya know what he was

Bob Smith 25:21
an attorney. And he was acting as a mediator, which is something that attorneys often do. He was a lawyer from Georgetown, Maryland 35 At the time, and he had been set on a mission to obtain the exchange of an American prisoner held on the British ship. That’s what he was doing when he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry. And

Marcia Smith 25:40
so you have this question right there. You were going to ask me this today? Yeah.

Bob Smith 25:43
My question was, was what was he doing on the ship? Your question was, tell me about the song.

Marcia Smith 25:49
The music? Yeah. Funny the string now there’s overlap. And if it were the fourth of July or something, I would see that. All right, I’m gonna finish up. I’m going to leave you Bob with a thought to ponder okay, but I won’t really

Bob Smith 26:03
leave. No, no, just please don’t leave me.

Marcia Smith 26:05
During COVID. I have to stay right. According to scientific American magazine. If you live in the northern hemisphere, odds are that every time you fill your lungs with air, at least one molecule of that air once passed through the lungs of Socrates.

Bob Smith 26:24
But you have to live in the northern hemisphere for this. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 26:26
Which we do. Okay. That’s kind of strange.

Marcia Smith 26:29
So yeah, I know. That is just a weird I’d said it was a thought to pond

Bob Smith 26:34
I call it random Marsh, like, say things when you don’t really like some of my questions. That’s pretty random. So Marcia, that was pretty random.

Marcia Smith 26:41

I thought it was interesting. Uh, huh. Socrates, Bob, a molecule in your body.

Bob Smith 26:46
Okay, I’ve got I’ve got a couple of last words. Famous last words. Okay. Oh, yeah. George Orwell, who wrote 1984 His last written words were at 50. Everyone has the face he deserved. And he died at the age of 46. Now, this is a strange last words for a woman who is the advocate of birth control Margaret Sanger. And you know what her last words were a party. Let’s have a party really?

Unknown Speaker 27:15
Well doesn’t go

Bob Smith 27:17
along with the spirit of birth control, does it?

Marcia Smith 27:20
Well, she was frisky so she had to figure out a way to be careful.

Bob Smith 27:24
Anyway, that’s how that’s how she went out.

Marcia Smith 27:26
Oh, that was great.

Bob Smith 27:27
We hope you’ve enjoyed all the fun and frivolity. We try to provide that. I’m Bob Smith.

Marcia Smith 27:33
