089 Coded Trivia

Bob Smith 0:00
What famous American used Morris code when he proposed in person to his wife?

Marcia Smith 0:06
And how does the Queen of England send coded messages to her staff

Bob Smith 0:11
up to questions about code in this episode of the off ramp with Bob and

Marcia Smith 0:15
Marsha Smith?

Bob Smith 0:33
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down. Steer clear of crazy take us side road to sanity and get some perspective on life. Well, we just learned, we both have coded messages.

Marcia Smith 0:46
It’s another one of those co inky dinks.

Bob Smith 0:48
All right, I’ll ask you mine first. All right, what famous American used Morse code when he proposed to his wife in person. That should give you a clue. The clue is he had a hearing problem. So did he

Marcia Smith 1:05
tap it out on his finger?

Bob Smith 1:07
He tapped it out. And who was him? Oh?

Marcia Smith 1:13
Oh, wow. Now Yeah, asking the hard stuff.

Bob Smith 1:16
Thomas Edison, Thomas Edison, I

Marcia Smith 1:18
forgot that he was hard to

Bob Smith 1:19
separate from deafness. And that came about during an explosion in his Yeah. And he taught his bride to be Morse code while he was dating her. And then when she was able to send and receive messages, he proposed to her by tapping out his message in her hand. And she said yes, in his hand. Oh, that’s really sweet.

Marcia Smith 1:40
So

Bob Smith 1:41
according to friends after they were married, they often communicated to each other in Morse code. And the skill came in handy when the Edison’s went to the theater, because Mrs. Edison could telegraph. The actor’s words to her deaf husband’s knee.

Marcia Smith 1:54
Yeah. Wow.

Bob Smith 1:56
So he was he totally, not totally know.

Marcia Smith 1:59
So you’re just tired of hearing? Yeah. Well,

Bob Smith 2:05
then you’ve got a coded question to I do

Marcia Smith 2:07
this would have to be called the coded trivia show. Okay, y’all, you know, I love codes, right. Prince Philip has been in the news. He died at 99 years old. Did you know that he and Liz were great, great grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Yes, I did. Oh, of course. I knew that. They were cousins. Yeah. Well, very distant third cousins. Like yeah, not enough to get a check for three arms. Yeah. Alyssa i They met when he was 13. And she was nine. Did you know that?

Bob Smith 2:39
I knew that they met in the 30s when he came to visit the royal family. How old were they? When they got married? Marsh?

Marcia Smith 2:45
I think she was 21. How old was he? Well, 26.

Bob Smith 2:49
Now let’s get to the question.

Marcia Smith 2:52
Oh, the question. Yeah, that’s yes. Let’s

Bob Smith 2:54
get to the question. Yes. Okay.

Marcia Smith 2:56
So how does the Queen send coded messages to her staff so they know what her desires are? Really

Bob Smith 3:03
the Queen of England sends coded messages to her staff? Does she have a little like a little terminal that she just taps it out in Morse code or at lights blinks? Or does do you

Marcia Smith 3:14
think she carries that in her purse?

Bob Smith 3:17
It’s a pager?

Marcia Smith 3:19
No, but the answer lies within her ever present. Purse. Yes, right pocket book, right? That’s right, her purse. She’s always carrying a purse. And if she’s at dinner, and ready for it to end, in five minutes she takes picks up her handbag and puts it on the table. So the staff knows time to start clearing the dishes yet five minutes. Oh my god. And if she’s out and about and wants to keep things moving along, because she’s getting bored or in a pickle, she transfers her purse from her left arm to her right arm and that’s the cue for staff to swoop in and get things moving.

Bob Smith 3:59
No kidding. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 4:00
So she uses her purse. Secret coded messages place to

Bob Smith 4:06
get different places. Isn’t

Marcia Smith 4:07
that funny? Oh,

Bob Smith 4:08
I wonder if that. Was that an intentional thing? Or did everybody say no when she does that?

Marcia Smith 4:13
No, I think that was that’s for Mental Floss. Very sure it was heavily researched. But yeah, how would you you know, you can’t just say Agnes get this line moving or this guy’s a bore? Or you know, clear the table these commoners

Bob Smith 4:28
out of here. Alright, two follow up questions to Thomas Edison. What was his first invention? Was it the telegraph? No, it was not he did not invent the telegraph, Marcia hearing, he invented some things that went along with the telegraph. Morse code. It was something that took years to catch on and when it caught on, it wasn’t his machine that was successful. It was the voting machine. He came up with a voting machine, designed it in the 1860s and his potential customers found it completely uninteresting, right And interestingly enough, we talked about him being deaf, right or,

Marcia Smith 5:04
yeah,

Bob Smith 5:05
he actually preferred braille to visual reading.

Marcia Smith 5:08
Oh, no kidding. Yeah, I don’t know. Probably he was very quite sure

Bob Smith 5:12
he was very eccentric person. Yeah, it’s difficult to get along with. Okay.

Marcia Smith 5:16
Bob, what is a laryngeal prominence? Something

Bob Smith 5:22
to do with the larynx? So your throat? It’s an Adam’s apple.

Marcia Smith 5:26
Excellent. Okay, got one for the big guy. How did the Adam’s apple get its name,

Bob Smith 5:31
Bob? Well, Adam had an apple. And Eve of course, was the temptress. And so it stuck in his throat. I don’t know.

Marcia Smith 5:41
That’s exactly it. That was the idea that said, it’s Adam and Eve. It’s ancient folklore that Adam ate the forbidden apple and a large chunk got stuck in his throat, forming a lump.

Bob Smith 5:53
Well, that just goes to show you sometimes your imagination works well. But

Marcia Smith 5:58
here’s the final question. Why only men Bob, why only men what half an Adam’s apple and not women

Bob Smith 6:05
because men were smart enough not to offer fruit to women. Obviously, that’s the answer. Okay, let me go with my quotes. No, that’s not a backup. Okay.

Marcia Smith 6:14
I don’t know why. Well, it’s actually very

Bob Smith 6:17
there’s no folklore with regard to that. No. Okay. It’s this is according

Marcia Smith 6:21
to live science. Men have a larger voice box so it sticks out more. So dude speeds lower in tone right compared to us, dainty lady. And so that’s it. Your voice box is bigger.

Bob Smith 6:36
All right now Marsha a couple weeks back, you flummoxed me? All of your?

Marcia Smith 6:44
I’d like to thwart you and Flomax. Remember you

Bob Smith 6:47
had a list of the top film songs. And then you add the top songs from Broadway shows and the top songs from Broadway shows it became films and the movies. Oh my god, you

Marcia Smith 6:58
had a second half. What’s five? Oh, no,

Bob Smith 7:02
I’ve got something for you. One of our friends took pity on me, Rob Fredrickson. Rapp. Fredrickson said, Give her this list. So these were songs in the Billboard Hot 100. That happened to be in films. Just give me a few.

Marcia Smith 7:16
I will always love you Whitney Houston. Oh, that is one. Yes. Yes. What number is that?

Bob Smith 7:21
That’s actually number nine. Really? Yeah, not the top five. Question on that. Who wrote that song?

Marcia Smith 7:28
I don’t know. Dolly Parton. Oh my gosh, she sang it.

Bob Smith 7:31
She wrote it. She sang it. She wrote it in 1973. But Kevin Costner played Linda Ronstadt version of it to Whitney Houston. And she’s wanted to record it. And so that’s how it became part of the shell. All right. And yeah,

Marcia Smith 7:43
all right. I have to think something from Greece. No.

Bob Smith 7:50
To from Saturday Night Fever, though, can’t

Marcia Smith 7:51
remember those songs. Those disco songs go up staying alive. No.

Bob Smith 7:58
From the top 10 Number nine was I will always love you. Okay. Number eight was Night Fever by the BGS. Now, there’s an interesting story behind that because Robert Stigwood, the producer of the film, he wanted to call this film Saturday night, so he said, Could you change your song’s name to Saturday night? And they said no. So he decided to change the title of the movie. He went from the movie being Saturday night to Saturday Night Fever their song, and that’s how he renamed the film to Saturday Night Fever. So that’s interesting. Flashdance. Oh, Irene, Cara. It’s called Flashdance. What a feeling? Oh, that’s the song title. I didn’t know that. Yeah, the eye of the tiger. Hmm. Now there’s an interesting story behind that. That was Sylvester Stallone’s rocky three. He wanted to use another song, any idea what it might have been about a somebody being pummeled? I don’t know. Another One Bites the Dust queen. I wanted to use that but he couldn’t get the rights to it. So he went to Jim Petric and Frank Sullivan. They were in a band called survivor. And they wrote it with a tiger and they timed the percussive guitar and the drum hits to the way he punched in the fill. Yeah, bum ba bum, bum bum ba C

Marcia Smith 9:09
ba ba. Ba. Well, Queen missed his chance on that way. Sure, they would have

Bob Smith 9:15
already yelled the top five where we started how deep is your love by the Beegees? Yeah. And this is what I didn’t expect theme from a summer place by Percy fail from 1960

Marcia Smith 9:25
Oh, that was so boring. But

Bob Smith 9:29
that that was the fourth top film song on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts. Number three was everything I do for you by Bryan Adams. Number two Endless Love by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. Oh, yeah, that was good. They’re both big solo artists at the time, but this was their top song for each of them.

Marcia Smith 9:48
very rousing I thought.

Bob Smith 9:50
And number one, believe it or not was you light up my life by

Marcia Smith 9:54
Debbie Boone. Debby Boone is number of all time

Bob Smith 9:57
number one it was a orig Jin Lee Sung by a trained classical singer, but she recorded it and it was the best song Grammy but it tied it tied with Evergreen with Barbra Streisand. That year, they gave her an award for two different artists tagged with who Barbra Streisand’s evergreen. Wow. So the those are these are you didn’t get any of those right, Marsha. I thought this was your specialty. Top film songs. Oh, well, thank you, Rob. Thanks to rob Fredrickson. What

Marcia Smith 10:27
a face. Okay. All right, Bob. Why do why do we say good night sleep tight?

Bob Smith 10:34
Why do we say good night sleep tight? I think the sleep tight had to do with bedbugs. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. And it was you had to wrap yourself tightly in your clothes or something. Yeah, no.

Marcia Smith 10:45
Okay. Sometime during this century, 16th century, British farmers stopped sleeping on the ground and they got into beds. The beds were straw filled mattresses tied to wooden frames. And before hitting the hay. You had to pull on the ropes to tighten them to get a good night’s sleep. Hence the term Sleep tight. Why did you have to pull on the ropes to make it tighter? Because otherwise it would sag down to the ground?

Bob Smith 11:11
All to lift up the ropes. I see. So that night’s

Marcia Smith 11:15
sleep, they probably got saggy. Yeah. And then you tighten the ropes and your backup.

Bob Smith 11:20
Alright, Marcia, this is a recent bit of news that came out and a little disturbing. I think what part of the body changes the most after a year in space? Oh,

Marcia Smith 11:30
wait, wait, wait. It’s the heart, the heart. You’re right.

Bob Smith 11:34
In the words of the New York Times note to future space travelers prepare for a shrinking heart. Because that was Scott Kelly. He spent a year in space. And after a study was done, the right Chamber of his heart lost a quarter of its mass. That’s

Marcia Smith 11:49
huge. 25% of heart mass. Yeah,

Bob Smith 11:53
I mean, in a year’s time, and he was doing all kinds of exercises on the mission, you know, but his heart mass shrank from 4.9 ounces to 6.7 ounces, which was the decline of 27%. This is something you’re gonna have to think about for let’s say, the mission to Mars. Yeah, we’re gonna take a couple of years to get to Mars and

Marcia Smith 12:13
come back with you know, 75% capacity or yeah, not gonna be doing a whole lot. Well, how did he get it back? I mean, did he just, it just grew back. Some

Bob Smith 12:23
of it was gravity and some other things. I mean, there’s just all kinds of forces that react in a different way in space. So that’s a pickle. He says he’s feeling fine, and everything’s normal. Maybe let’s do another study on his heart to see Yeah, it’s kind of disturbing, isn’t it? When you think about your heart after all, it’s just a year in the space and your left ventricle basically shrunk more than 25%

Marcia Smith 12:46
that is, before we go to break, I’ll just do some booze quickies booze quickies three of them. Did you know that daiquiri is the name of the village in eastern Cuba?

Bob Smith 12:57
No. Is that where it got its name the drink got this name from Daiquiri? Yeah.

Marcia Smith 13:01
And the word rum is an abbreviation and stands for rum bullion. And lastly, the word whiskey comes from Gaelic and literally means the water of life.

Bob Smith 13:15
Well we all know it is Sherlock

Marcia Smith 13:17
is always thrown it down somebody’s throat and revive them.

Bob Smith 13:22
All right, let’s take a break. We’ll be back with more. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. Okay, we’re back. Welcome to the off ramp. Alright, Marsha, why as we get to the warmer weather of the summer approaching a lot of things come into the mind like hey, let’s cook outside, right? Why can we all think Henry Ford and Thomas Edison for backyard barbecues?

Marcia Smith 13:49
Oh, is it because down in Florida at Ford summer house and Edison had one two next door we were there and they had that baby Naples Naples just said nipples now Naples

Bob Smith 14:04
and those are seen to in Florida and Tom would

Marcia Smith 14:07
come over and they’d eat outside and cook on wood.

Bob Smith 14:11
I can’t remember this do you really got this picture in your mind? I

Marcia Smith 14:14
do. They started cooking out together? No, no. Okay. It has

Bob Smith 14:18
to do with what did Henry Ford invent that we use every summer? Modern charcoal. He

Marcia Smith 14:25
did charcoal. I didn’t know that charcoal briquettes. This is common knowledge. It doesn’t say so um bag actually

Bob Smith 14:32
it does say so on the bag. Now if you look at Kingsford charcoal, it tells the story on the back. But why in God’s name would an automaker have anything to do with charcoal? Well, that’s because the first automobile bodies were made almost entirely of wood. And Henry Ford was always wanting to use all the materials and not have any waste. He hated waste cost and money. Got it. For instance, every model T used 100 board feet of wood For the frame, the dashboard, the steering wheel and the modern wheels that rubber tires went on. Now you lived in northern Michigan, you probably didn’t know this, but Henry Ford needed a lumber for those cars he was making. Yeah. So he went to his real estate agent, eg kings Ford, and he purchased 313,000 acres in northern Michigan in the Upper Peninsula to use for automobiles, and he put Kingsford in charge of that plant. And next door to it. They had a wood chemical plant. He said, there’s so much wood here, it’s being wasted. Yeah, let’s find some use for it. He turned to his friend Thomas Edison, Thomas Edison knew that people used charcoal on things for years, they found a way to turn all this wood, grind it up and pop it and chemically treat it, turn it into these little briquettes. Well guess who designed the plant that made those Thomas Edison Wow. So Thomas Edison and Henry Ford are responsible for charcoal the charcoal we use today, they took sawdust mill waste, tar and cornstarch and turn them into pillow shaped lumps of fuel called charcoal briquettes.

Marcia Smith 16:01
That’s what I feel like sometimes a lump of fuel. Years later, Ford sold

Bob Smith 16:05
that company and the investors from Northern Michigan named it Kingsford in honor of their friends who managed the whole thing. Very cool. Yeah, Kingsford charcoal has the story on the back of the bag. If you look at

Marcia Smith 16:17
I guess I never did. Okay, time for Martius animal corner.

Bob Smith 16:23
Here we go again.

Marcia Smith 16:24
What animal gets the most sleep on a daily basis?

Bob Smith 16:28
Oh, Bear. Well, they

Marcia Smith 16:30
hibernate but I said daily base hats get a lot of sleep. But it’s not the most okay, it was actually your first pet Bob. Remember your goldfish? No, a hairy armadillo?

Bob Smith 16:43
No, I never had an armadillo. Can you imagine having one of those as a pet or a hairy

Marcia Smith 16:47
one yet through? It sleeps on average of 20.4 hours a day. But cats are right up there Bob with 12 to 16 hours a day of sleep 12

Bob Smith 16:59
to 16 hours of sleep and 24 hours and why

Marcia Smith 17:03
you ask why? Because they’re hunting, killing and eating instincts remain intact even though they’re domesticated. So they are still trying to reserve their energy for the great hunt. So what’s your

Bob Smith 17:16
big excuse to me?

Marcia Smith 17:17
What’s your

Bob Smith 17:20
sound like an excuse, like, Oh, I’m a I’m a lioness. I must dressed. I could just imagine if a cat could talk. It would say that to its human. Oh, okay. Marcia, with summer in the old days, and in some locations still comes drive in theaters. Oh, yes. I

Marcia Smith 17:38
still love them.

Bob Smith 17:39
What was the inspiration for the drive in theater? See inspiration. Men named Richard Hollingshead had this inspiration when something happened.

Marcia Smith 17:50
Yeah. Tell me what that was. Okay. The

Bob Smith 17:53
inspiration for the drive in theater was a hot summer night showing home movies outside. He was trying to show friends home movies in his living room when summer night and the late 1920s. But the heat was so bad. He took his projector outside, set it on the hood of his car. And he projected the movies onto a sheet He hung on the garage door.

Marcia Smith 18:12
I’ll say that. That was my thought while you were talking about that. Yeah. And

Bob Smith 18:16
his guests loved it so much. He got the idea to you know, show movies. So he started showing home movies at gas stations to entertain customers. That was the first idea he had while they were filling their tanks, entertain them while they’re filling their tanks. What did they have at service stations? Now? This little video screen? Yeah, but ventually he came up with the idea for an outdoor drive in theater. And he actually patented it and you can find it online for the landscaped ramps that tilted the cars up so people can watch the vehicle. Yeah, all that was patented. And you can find it online. He opened the first drive in theater in Camden, New Jersey, June 6 1933 600. People showed up. The film was an eight off Monju film. Wife beware. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. Now, who fought that idea more than anyone else knocked him out

Marcia Smith 19:06
of business as studios because they couldn’t get their pound of flesh.

Bob Smith 19:10
Well, you know why they owned all the indoor theaters at the time. Remember that years ago, the Supreme Court eventually made the movie theaters. You can’t have the studios and the theaters can’t get rid of one of them. But at that time, they owned all the theaters and so they refused to rent him. A lot of films that were popular and eventually he went out of business, but other people came in but after two or three years he sold it. I hope he made some money but the man who invented it was Richard Hollingshead and the inspiration was showing home movies on a sheet outside this makes sense. I love it.

Marcia Smith 19:43
I love it.

Bob Smith 19:44
I still think drive ins are fun.

Marcia Smith 19:46
Yeah to once in a while. Door County we always tried to go to that. The

Bob Smith 19:50
drive in theater up there is still in business and it’s like a kid’s paradise in the summer.

Marcia Smith 19:54
I could still I get Wednesday. I just want to go there for up there. Okay, Bob recently A Texas woman got her nails trim nothing like a manicure but it was the first time and 28 year old deer How long were they?

Bob Smith 20:09
Oh my well that would be my would it be 12 inches? No I’d say maybe four or five inches I assume they stopped growing after a time

Marcia Smith 20:19
they don’t oh how long might it go be going to feet Bob Oh You’re kidding 24 Feet How could she even function was nation Assam they all these little curve thing? Oh god she could drive a car but it was hard to dry dishes

Bob Smith 20:35
and will help painful that would be if one of them broke? Oh,

Marcia Smith 20:38
I don’t know. But she had to have them cut with an electric rotary tool. at a doctor’s office power tool. Her manicured required three to four bottles of Polish per application. Holy cow and her nails will soon be put into the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum in Florida the only place they belong where we’re going on vacation.

Bob Smith 21:00
But Ripley, believe it or not museum I always wanted to go to that when I was a kid.

Marcia Smith 21:06
Yeah, I’m sure I don’t I probably get cranky. At some of it. Jackie gaggy Okay,

Bob Smith 21:11
Marcia. Think of your medicine cabinet. His name is on the product, but he didn’t invent it. He inspired it. Who was he and what product bears his name? Can you give me a category something you put in your mouth? Well, that’s as close as I could.

Marcia Smith 21:28
I mean medicinal or healthy. Or

Bob Smith 21:31
I would say clinical sanitary

Marcia Smith 21:35
sanitary. Something a toothpaste Colgate? No now something was it a cough drop like that? Smith brothers. This was used to your uncle and used

Bob Smith 21:46
to clean your mouth. mouthwash. Listerine. Yes. Joseph Lister Dr. Joseph Lister is the man it was named after he campaigned against filthy hospitals and doctors that didn’t wash properly and perform surgery in street clothes. So he had a crusade that inspired the medical profession to adopt more sanitary practices. And when a St. Louis chemist Joseph Lawrence invented a new germ killing mouthwash he named it in his honor Listerine Joseph Lister Wow to honor his name, Sir Joseph Lister I should say yeah,

Marcia Smith 22:17
okay, Bob. What Popstar requires 20 bodyguards.

Bob Smith 22:22
20 bodyguard says he required them or just insists on them. That’s the question says Son 20 insists Can you give me any clues as she as to her profession? Is it Beyonce? Nope. Is it not Barbra Streisand? No, no, Madonna. Yes, Madonna. How many 20

Marcia Smith 22:42
Bodyguards her entourage she travels with is 200

Bob Smith 22:46
Oh my god. I

Marcia Smith 22:48
mean, not to mention everywhere she goes. She needs a new toilet seat in every dressing room and of course at every gig. And she has checked this her personal furniture shipped in from her home to her dressing room

Bob Smith 23:02
at every venue. I wonder if all that’s true. It sounds ridiculous. It does sound ridiculous to 100 people I don’t think the White House thinks that many people along for some course that

Marcia Smith 23:11
she has yoga, yoga people hairdressers, makeup, aroma therapist, whatever.

Bob Smith 23:17
Pretty good for a little girl from Detroit. All right, Marcia, you mentioned these guys earlier. I’m going to ask you this question. Why did the Smith brothers put their pictures on their cough drops? This was a branding decision. Yeah. That was my guess the reason they did it was to prove to consumers they were buying the real McCoy because Andy and William Smith that was their name. Okay, we’re the sons of a Poughkeepsie, New York candymaker and restaurant owner. And in 1871 of his customers gave him a recipe for dough candy. He made a batch of it and it’s sold out. And in fact people up and down the Hudson Valley were colds were constant during the long winters wanted more of these cough drops. And the Smith family became America’s cough drop kings but the problem was they had a lot of copycat out yeah, a lot of copycats calling themselves to Smith cough drops. So the bearded Smith brothers introduced new packaging with their pictures to assure customers they were buying authentic Smith cough drops. So it was a branding thing singular

Marcia Smith 24:17
distinction. That’s what it gave them. Okay. In 2009 A search for the famous Loch Ness Monster found no monster, but instead found what?

Bob Smith 24:29
It found an inflatable Blow Up Tour. Huge. Okay, I don’t know what did they find?

Marcia Smith 24:36
According to tree hugger.com The search team found 100,000 golf balls. Oh no. At the bottom of the lake, courtesy I imagine of the nearby golf courses and bad buffers but over time, you know, golf balls degrade in water and pollute and harm the water and wildlife. So hence the interest of tree hugger.com Well

Bob Smith 24:59
that may sense. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 25:00
how many 100,000 That

Bob Smith 25:02
would make a Loch Ness Monster?

Marcia Smith 25:04
Isn’t that amazing? Wow,

Bob Smith 25:06
we didn’t find the monster but we did come up with a few other things. Can you imagine that? Alright Marcia. This is from a category I’d call what else was going on at the time? Okay.

Marcia Smith 25:18
Now we make these categories up on the spot. It’s my

Bob Smith 25:21
own category. In 1776, the great writer Thomas Paine was editing a magazine called the American monthly museum was a Philadelphia Magazine. Now the final issue in July 1776, included the only contemporary magazine printing of the Declaration of Independence. Okay, that’s pretty good. But what were some of the other articles in that issue? I got the titles of some of their titles. That’s funny. Oh,

Marcia Smith 25:47
I don’t know. My story, a pain in the butt. No, no, call me along

Bob Smith 25:56
with that great historic document were articles including proposal to prevent scurvy at sea. And another article called on the great danger of ladies wearing wires in their caps and pins in their hair. It’s just nice to know that people were as distracted as they are now. It

Marcia Smith 26:12
sounds cosmopolitan.

Bob Smith 26:13
You get this great here, this Declaration of Independence. And here’s a ladies hats. Yeah, ladies. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 26:18
That is curious.

Bob Smith 26:20
That’s a interesting way to prevent scurvy.

Marcia Smith 26:24
Well, I’m going to end with a quote with two quotes. One from the president one a pop star, okay. It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit?

Bob Smith 26:34
Oh, that’s a famous quote. Who said Harry Truman said something like that.

Marcia Smith 26:38
That’s what I got down for him saying, Oh, okay. Yeah, okay, that was Harry. And from cutie pie. Harry Styles are real girl is imperfect. A perfect girl isn’t real, but that’s true, too.

Bob Smith 26:52
Okay, now that was a lot of stuff and started out with Morse code. So it’s quite a menagerie of things in this episode. Well, we hope you enjoyed this half hour and we welcome you back next time. And if you would like to send us a trivia question you want one of us to read to the other. Just do so by going to our website, the off ramp dot show and going to contact us put in the question the answer and who you want to answer it. Okay, that’s it for today. I’m Bob Smith.

Unknown Speaker 27:21
I’m Marcia Smith. Join us again

Bob Smith 27:23
next time for the off ramp. The off ramp is produced in association with CPL radio online and the Cedarburg Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
