Bob Smith 0:00
What is cobwebbing and cookie jarring,

Marcia Smith 0:06
and where will you find the only spaceship shaped McDonald’s?

Bob Smith 0:10
Whoah! Answers to those and other out of this world questions coming up in this half hour of the off ramp with Bob and

Marcia Smith 0:18
Marsha Smith, you

Bob Smith 0:35
Music. Welcome to the off ramp. A chance to slow down, steer clear of crazy. Take a side road to sanity and get some perspective on life. Well, Marcia, you’ve heard of ghosting. You’ve heard of gaslighting. These are modern dating terms. You talked about gaslighting recently. What are cobwebbing and cookie jarring? That

Marcia Smith 0:58
is so stupid, Cookie jarring? Well, I’ll say cob webing is when you’re texting and trying to confuse somebody, and cookie jarring is when you’re feeding false compliments.

Bob Smith 1:10
Those are good suggestions. I like that good this comes from an article called breadcrumbed, or ghosted, recently in the New York Times, and it’s got all these very interesting new dating terms that people are using. Cobwebbing is purging mementos from previous relationships in an effort to move on, like you’re getting rid of the cobwebs. Okay, okay, just get rid of the cobwebs. Okay. Cookie jarring, now that I thought that was a funny one, and it’s sort of similar to what you were thinking, Cookie jarring is when a person seeks a relationship as a backup plan when the one they actually want isn’t available or has rejected them they need a cookie jar just in

Marcia Smith 1:48
case. Oh, my goodness, that’s cruel. These

Bob Smith 1:51
are just two that come from bread crumbed or ghosted by Gina sherillis. And she consulted with two dating experts on these. She spoke with Natalie Jones, a California based psychotherapist, and Shan budrum, a sex and relationship expert who works for Bumble here’s one more, and then we’ll get some more later. Bread crumbing. What’s that when

Marcia Smith 2:10
you just leave little hints behind where you’re going to be, that

Bob Smith 2:14
sounds like that’s what it would be. Or I got to get back to this person. This is when someone consistently checks in with a romantic prospect and dangles the possibility of a date, but never follows

Marcia Smith 2:25
through. Yeah, yeah. Our kids have had that, yeah. All right, we

Bob Smith 2:28
got more coming up a little later on. Okay, and now to an out of this world, McDonald’s. Where

Marcia Smith 2:34
will you find the only spaceship shaped? Say that again, space, spaceship shaped McDonald’s, spaceship shaped McDonald’s. They got McDonald’s all over the world. I

Bob Smith 2:44
would assume, though this is like down by Cape Kennedy, or something like that, Cape Canaveral in Florida, that’s good. Or in Houston, you know, where the lot of the space stuff takes place. And I assume I’m wrong on both counts. You

Marcia Smith 2:57
are okay. Think it through, though, where would that be? Okay, tell me Roswell, New Mexico.

Bob Smith 3:07
Okay, of course,

Marcia Smith 3:09
that’s ground zero for UFO ologists, right? Yes, yes. Supposedly, there was a UFO that crashed there back in 1947 and they’re still talking about it and having fun trips. I saw a picture of a bunch of guys going down to Roswell with a blow up alien in the back seat convertible. It’s very funny eating McDonald’s food. Yeah, no, okay, no, maybe they were, I don’t know. I’d love to

Bob Smith 3:35
see that thing. Yeah, McDonald’s shaped like a spaceship. Yep.

Marcia Smith 3:38
And it’s Roswell, New Mexico, where something crashed there in 1947 That’s right. And where the Walker Air Force base nearby said it was a flying saucer. And then a few days later, said, No, it was a balloon

Bob Smith 3:53
from China. Yeah, no, okay, it

Marcia Smith 3:55
was really, they just changed it up. And for a few days later,

Bob Smith 3:58
that’s where the McDonald’s that’s in the shape of a UFO or a spaceship, yeah?

Marcia Smith 4:05
And there are blown up aliens everywhere. And, you know, everything takes off on the theme there. It’s very funny. Well,

Bob Smith 4:11
if you’re going to McDonald’s, you have to be on a highway. So I’m going to ask you a highway question. Marcia, okay, what are the safest vehicles on highways in the United States, the safest vehicle on the highway,

Marcia Smith 4:23
safest vehicle. Well, tanks, tanks, yes, normal. You’re talking about a normal vehicle, yeah, it’s not the Hummer, or is it? Is not the Hummer?

Bob Smith 4:35
Normal vehicle. You see them every day.

Marcia Smith 4:37
Is it something we have? Yeah, yeah,

Bob Smith 4:40
yeah, something we have. Okay, it’s

Marcia Smith 4:42
a Subaru. No,

Bob Smith 4:43
no, no, no. It’s not something we have. It’s something everyone has. We have it here in our state too. Oh, school busses. Oh, really, yeah. According to britannica.com people on busses represent less than 1% of all traffic fatalities in the United States. So isn’t that interesting? Yeah, school busses are the safest vehicles on the highway, and if you have kids, they are 70 times more likely to make it to school safely on a bus versus a car. Wow. This is from britannica.com

Marcia Smith 5:14
you want your kids safe, don’t drive them, put them on the bus. That’s right. Isn’t that interesting? Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed that.

Bob Smith 5:20
I thought maybe school bus accidents, you’re trapped on a bus and all of that. But no, if you’re on the school bus, you are the safest of anyone on the highway. Okay,

Marcia Smith 5:28
Bob, what is the cardio centric hypotheses?

Bob Smith 5:32
Well, I talk about that all the time. The cardio centric hypothesis says this is that the heart is the center of all reasoning, or something like that. The old thoughts that the heart was the center of your body, not your brain,

Marcia Smith 5:47
exactly right? It’s an ancient belief that the heart was the center of your thought, body, movement and soul. It was a belief passed down from the Egyptians to the ancient Greeks. Hence the term, when we say, you know something by heart, it means your heart memorized.

Bob Smith 6:04
Oh, that’s where the expression comes from. I know it by heart. I’ll be dark. That’s very good. Okay, I got more of these fun dating terms. First, I have a question for you. How far back do rings go back? Wedding rings?

Marcia Smith 6:18
How wedding rings, they

Bob Smith 6:18
go you? You mentioned something just a moment ago related to this I did, yeah, what culture is credited with starting wedding rings?

Marcia Smith 6:26
I’ll say Egyptians. That’s right, yeah, yeah.

Bob Smith 6:30
They believe there was a VENA amoris, the Latin for vein of love in the left hand’s fourth finger. They thought that that vein, that vein, had a direct root to the heart. Oh, that’s cool. Back to your heart thing.

Marcia Smith 6:42
Then we still do it today. Yeah, I love it. And look at I got mine on my face. There you do my little band of

Bob Smith 6:48
gold. Okay, now, but when you were dating Marsh, like when you were dating me, were you ever involved in cuffing or cyber flashing? I doubt it. What is cuffing in dating, modern dating terms? I don’t know, cuffing is getting tied down to one partner, usually during the colder months I got cuffed, cuffed,

Marcia Smith 7:08
work off together, or the COVID months.

Bob Smith 7:10
What cyber flashing we’ve learned about cookie jarring, cobwebbing, bread crumbing and coughing. Now, cyber flashing is

Marcia Smith 7:18
that when you put your naked picture up for three seconds and take it down. Yes. Basically

Bob Smith 7:23
that’s it’s sending unwanted sexual images to another person through digital means, such as a dating app or a social media platform. But also can be done via text, but that’s what cyber flashing is. All right. Now, we’ve all heard of red flags, like, Oh, that’s a red flag. What are the three flag colors, green, red and beige. What do they stand for? What

Marcia Smith 7:45
do they stand for? Red flag is you’re obviously a net case by your behavior,

Bob Smith 7:50
negative, something negative, potentially harmful traits a person has. Black Flag, did you No, no, no, that’s a that’s an insecticide. So there are three flags. People say, Oh, that’s a green flag.

Marcia Smith 8:03
A green flag. I don’t know. How was that. Green flags

Bob Smith 8:05
are positive, positive, compatible traits. A lot of green flags there. Oh, really, it’s a decent guy. Red flags, yeah. And then what are beige flags?

Marcia Smith 8:15
Notice I say he, he’s kind of a nothing burger. Yeah,

Bob Smith 8:18
yeah. People displaying beige flags are just kind of dull and boring and lack much effort. Yeah, daily, yeah, you never want to be kind of a beige flag. Bob, sorry, sorry. Bob,

Marcia Smith 8:32
what tree predated the dinosaurs and is still around?

Bob Smith 8:36
Oh, so this is a tree that goes way, way back. Uh huh. So we’re not, I assume this is not the redwoods or the sequoias, but something before those before, is it like the cypress tree? No,

Marcia Smith 8:49
this is a tree that’s still around and pretty close to us, really.

Unknown Speaker 8:55
Okay, what is it? It’s

Marcia Smith 8:57
outside our living room. Oh, my God. What is it you raised that

Bob Smith 9:00
Beverly big, ugly one. Oh, really? Walnuts? No.

Marcia Smith 9:03
Oh no, it’s the ginkgo.

Bob Smith 9:05
Oh No, kidding, yes. So they think ginkgo trees go back to

Marcia Smith 9:08
they know. So, Whoa, there is no tree on earth like the ginkgo bilboa. It has no living relatives. It’s the only one ancestors of the ginkgos now filling our parks and city streets and next to our house, lived on earth 270 million years ago. Oh, my goodness, 18 million years before a dinosaur. Jeez, that ginkgo is the oldest living tree species in the world, and it’s been nicknamed the living fossil. It can even survive from a stump in 2013 the National Park Service accidentally cut down an historic ginkgo tree in Washington, DC. Oh, dear. But eight months later, it started sprouting leaves. Oh, no,

Bob Smith 9:49
kidding, yeah, they cut the stump. Started sprouting leaves. So you can’t kill them, not

Marcia Smith 9:53
easily. Wow, and they’re cool to look at. What

Bob Smith 9:56
did you call that? Something the living fossils that you said we had. Boss, we called him, Oh, dear. All right, let’s talk about love again here. All right, what country is where Valentine’s Day is the most popular day to get married? Sit in Europe? No, there are a lot of people there. They celebrate wedding anniversaries on Valentine’s Day. And for a reason, why is the reason?

Marcia Smith 10:20
I’ll just pick a country. I’ll say it’s not in Europe. You said, No, it’s not in Europe. Okay? Then I’ll say, Australia. Well, you’re you’re in that New Zealand,

Bob Smith 10:29
you’re in the right part of the world. Fiji, no, you just keep crawling up there. Okay? It’s the Philippines. February 14 is the most popular wedding anniversary, because each year, local governments hold mass weddings on Valentine’s Day, where couples can get married for free. Well,

Marcia Smith 10:47
really, yeah, there’s a positive, well, that’s incentive. That’s why there’s

Bob Smith 10:51
a lot of people getting married on Valentine’s Day and all the wedding anniversaries. All right, more of these fun dating terms, Marsh, you know, gas lighting, we talk about that the manipulating somebody, making them doubt

Marcia Smith 11:04
in here. Bob, hello,

Bob Smith 11:05
what is love bombing? Love

Marcia Smith 11:08
bombing, I don’t know. You drop someone shout out on dating site and then don’t tell them who you are.

Bob Smith 11:18
Think of carpet bombing during a war when they just go overboard. Love bombing is lavishing a new romantic partner with grand gestures and constant contact while keeping them isolated from friends and family to gain control of the

Marcia Smith 11:31
relationship. Well, that is something else. Yeah, they’re not all red flags, but

Bob Smith 11:35
they can be red flags. Really love bombing me now, or she’s love bombing manipulation.

Marcia Smith 11:40
It’s it’s actually a form of mental control.

Bob Smith 11:44
Yes, it is, all right. And one more here. Okay, orbiting. That’s a dating term.

Marcia Smith 11:49
Let’s use these series always looking around for somebody to date. You’re circling one particular guy. The

Bob Smith 11:54
idea when somebody has cut off communication or has made it clear they’re not interested in pursuing a relationship, yet they continue to interact with the person on social media, usually by giving you likes. It’s like, hell yeah, he’s still orbiting me. She’s orbiting me. Oh, that

Marcia Smith 12:11
makes perfect sense. Okay, Bob, Louisiana doesn’t have a glass recycling program, okay? Surprise, surprise, so a couple of enterprising wine drinking Tulane students came up with a glass recycling project called glass half full. Glass half full. Okay, what was their unique solution? There was a certain process, okay, all right.

Bob Smith 12:33
So usually you have a receptacle or a place where you drop stuff off, yeah. Well, they

Marcia Smith 12:38
actually come to you and, oh, really, yeah. Now what they’re doing here, Bob is killing two birds with one stone. Since the 1930s Louisiana has lost about a third of its wetlands to rising seas and other factors. So these two guys, Max Stites and Fran Zika Troutman, found a way to pulverize glass back to its original form sand. Oh, and they are replenishing beaches and filling sandbags, among other things, to fortify levees everywhere around in Louisiana. Can

Bob Smith 13:10
you believe that? Well, that’s a pretty cool thing. Take

Marcia Smith 13:12
it back to its original form. So far, they have diverted over 3 million pounds of glass from landfills, and they got crowd funding to get this project going, and now they have trucks that come to your home and pick up your empty recyclables and turn it back into

Bob Smith 13:28
great thing. What a great idea. Yeah, and they’re using that sand to

Marcia Smith 13:32
put in the beaches and fortify the levees, and that’s a cool thing. It is very clever. And it all started because they had too many wine bottles in their dorm.

Bob Smith 13:41
It’s amazing, the things that could come from something simple, these

Marcia Smith 13:45
should go to use somehow. All right, let’s

Bob Smith 13:48
take a break now. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob

Marcia Smith 13:50
and Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 13:53
All right, I have a history question for you. What was unusual about the VIP recovery room for Ronald Reagan after the assassination attempt in 1981

Marcia Smith 14:04
what was the what?

Bob Smith 14:06
What was unusual about the VIP suite hospital? Yes, at George Washington University Hospital, what

Marcia Smith 14:13
was unusual it had no windows and full of, oh, I don’t know. Well,

Bob Smith 14:17
the hospital had no VIP room now President Reagan, just to recap, because people may not remember how close he came to death. He was nearly killed on March 30, 1981 He was rushed to George Washington University Hospital where surgeons discovered his left lung had collapsed. He’d lost more than half of his blood and a bullet had reached within an inch of his heart and his aorta. So after saving his life, doctors decided not to move him. He’d need to recover in the hospital. No problem. The press was told they’d be moving him to the VIP suite. Problem was, the hospital didn’t have any so administrator. Dollars, they identified an intensive care unit on the fourth floor. They isolated an entire hall with eight rooms, and although the hallway walls were glass, just like any ICU, the maintenance crews were dispatched to repaint the rooms, install Persian style carpets and mount artwork, and for the next two weeks, those eight rooms were the working White House. Oh, okay, there was a room at the end of the hall that was for the President, rooms for his wife, White House staff and personal physician. During the day, he’d meet with advisors and make decisions and greet VIP visitors for only five minutes each. Yeah, people there that were young staffers always coming in say, I’m sorry, Your time’s up. You know, sometimes they had to turn the VIPs away because too many people came in. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 15:42
that was a five bell or in the newsroom when it came over the wire. Yeah, when he got shot, I remember that vividly.

Bob Smith 15:49
Then, of course, he and Nancy would be out in the hall as he struggled to walk. Well, anyway, 12 days later, he walked out of the hospital and the VIP suite. It had served its purpose, and in the words of the New York Times, like so much in the nation’s capital, its status was short lived. After the President was discharged, the rooms were stripped away, restored to their bare bones, essential, and the VIP suite was no more, okay? So they made it up as they went along.

Marcia Smith 16:17
Good for them. All right? What percent of Americans say they do or would consider using their horoscope for financial advice. Oh,

Bob Smith 16:26
dear, give

Marcia Smith 16:26
me a percentage.

Bob Smith 16:28
Oh, my I’m sure it’s probably more than I want it to be. I’ll say 40% oh, let’s say 50% Oh,

Marcia Smith 16:34
my God, no, it’s not that bad, yeah, but it’s not good. 32% of Americans say they followed their horoscope for money advice, or would consider it. That’s according to the latest lending tree survey of more than 1500 US consumers Aries are the least likely to have a budget, really. Yeah, the sign most likely to take risks are Virgos. Oh no, that’s me, 13% of you are willing

Bob Smith 17:02
to take big risks. That’s not bad. Only 13% and

Marcia Smith 17:05
4% of Sagittarius, they’re the least likely to take risks. Okay,

Bob Smith 17:11
back to dating terms. Marsh, all right, got a few more here. What’s when you say somebody’s got Riz, what does that mean? She’s got Riz, razzle

Marcia Smith 17:19
dazzle,

Bob Smith 17:20
charisma.

Marcia Smith 17:22
Ah, that’s good. I like that. Yeah,

Bob Smith 17:24
you got Riz, that means somebody’s ability to flirt or attract potential mate, all right, then there’s two more here. What is a soft launching? Okay, we’re going to just do a soft launching of my relationship

Marcia Smith 17:38
meeting for coffee. It’s actually how you

Bob Smith 17:41
announce the relationship. Oh, that’s posting a discrete video or photo of your new partner on social media to announce your relationship while hiding their identity, like maybe just showing hands, holding your hands, or something like that. It’s called a soft launching and finally, I’m asking you this question, Marcia, what is a situationship? A situationship as opposed to a find all this stuff in the New York Times. It was a great article, okay? Situationship as opposed to a relationship. What is a situation?

Marcia Smith 18:13
I assume that it is a relationship based around a particular situation, such as COVID.

Bob Smith 18:23
Actually, it’s a relationship where neither side really knows what’s going on. That’s us Bob a romantic or sexual relationship, and with both partners do not communicate clearly to define their status. Unlike friends with benefits, neither party in a situationship is really certain of what the other is to them. He’s my, no, no, he’s my, she’s my, yeah, in a situationship, that’s it.

Marcia Smith 18:50
That’s that’s real cap out there, baby. Okay, I’ve got two show biz questions. Okay, why is a theater ticket booth called the box office. Oh,

Bob Smith 19:01
God, I used to know this. Why is it called the box office? That’s why they kept the box with the money. Wasn’t that it the box office is where the money went. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, they keep the money. They’re the ticket sales

Marcia Smith 19:13
in early Elizabethan times theaters admitted the general public into the ground level pit without charge, okay, but they would pass the plate like they do in church to put money in Oh, I see. And the better your seat was in the pit, the more you had to pay. But if you were in the upper crust, wealthy patrons, they bought balcony boxes for the season, and tickets were conveniently held at the front door for them when they walked in. Oh, at the

Bob Smith 19:41
box office, yeah. Oh, kidding. So it was for the better seats, the people who have the better seats, yeah,

Marcia Smith 19:47
box seats. And they got them when they walked in through the door, and that became the box the box office. And here’s the other term, where does winging it come from? You know, like you, you don’t really know what you’re doing. Yeah, just,

Bob Smith 20:01
just winging it, yeah. I always thought that came from aviation or something, yeah,

Marcia Smith 20:04
so did I. But this is good. This is also show business. The term derives from the unprepared stage actor standing in the wings and cramming desperately before hearing his cue. Oh,

Bob Smith 20:15
he’s winging it, yeah.

Marcia Smith 20:18
And he’s just in there reading his lines, trying to cram for getting on isn’t

Bob Smith 20:22
that funny? So that’s what they were doing at the last minute. They’re cramming their lines. Oh my goodness, it’s so like an exam. It’s so funny. Doesn’t know what he is doing it. Yeah, all right, after talking about situationships, relationships and all those funny dating terms, now let’s get down to some serious questions. What holiday commemorates the murder of a saint? There’s a holiday that commemorates the murder of a saint. Is it Valentine’s Yes, it is. It commemorates the murder of one of two martyred Christians, either a priest or a physician in Rome or a bishop in Italy, secretly marrying couples to spare the husbands from war. And supposedly, one of these men went to prison, and he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter, and the night before his execution, he wrote her a farewell message, signing it off with your Valentine. Oh, I remember that. Okay, now, why did a pope make Valentine’s Day a holiday? It replaced something else.

Marcia Smith 21:22
Oh, something. What were they loved about tree? Yes, what were the Christians

Bob Smith 21:25
always replacing? What other civilization

Marcia Smith 21:29
the Roman Yes, yes, Roman orgies and stuff. This is a another Roman

Bob Smith 21:33
Holiday, Lupercalia, or luper Celia and Pope galacious, the first needed a convenient holiday to replace that Roman festival, because that took place in mid February, and it was known for its excessive merriment. Is the way it

Marcia Smith 21:48
describes what we have here and distinctive fertility

Bob Smith 21:51
rituals, such as the lashing of women by men using the hides of sacrificed animals. Fun. So instead, let’s commemorate Valentine’s give her a card instead

Marcia Smith 22:02
of the lash. I think, I think that’s lovely. Okay, how big of a paycheck did Rihanna just get for her Super Bowl performance? Oh,

Bob Smith 22:11
I know the answer to this. Nothing. That’s right, because you don’t get paid for that thing.

Marcia Smith 22:15
Yeah, you don’t. None of them do, no, but what is their reward? It

Bob Smith 22:20
is all the publicity and the free you know, you have millions of people watching,

Marcia Smith 22:24
million viewers. Wow, tuned into the last million people watcher. And I think this year was more. That’s amazing. When Justin Timberlake performed in 2018 his music sales rose 534% that same day, oh, my goodness. Lady Gaga, sales of her digital catalog spiked 1,000% following her 2017 performance, jeez. But the people in and around that whole grand production, they get paid and Yeah,

Bob Smith 22:56
usually it costs the performer. They have to pay for this. They pay for the crew and all of that NFL does really, yeah, the NFL pays for the crew that comes out and builds the stage. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 23:05
like when Jennifer Lopez performed there, the NFL spent approximately $13 million and that was for the paychecks of the staffers involved in their production and the complicated technical elements and collapsible 38 part stage, good Lord, and all the equipment needed to put this on so the performer doesn’t have to pay for anything. NFL pays for that, but they don’t pay you.

Bob Smith 23:29
Geez. Okay, well, it’s obviously worth it to the entertainer. I would say, Yeah, okay, Marcia, a travel trivia.com

Marcia Smith 23:36
Question. You’d love that. I

Bob Smith 23:39
do love it. And it’s a geographic question, and you love that, don’t you? Oh, I

Marcia Smith 23:43
do love this.

Bob Smith 23:44
Let’s say you take the city of New York on a map and you do a straight line across the ocean due east. What major European capital lies due east of New York City? Now I’ll give you some choices, Bucharest, Romania, Copenhagen, Denmark, way up there, Madrid, Spain, or Berlin, Germany. Copenhagen, that’s what I would have thought, North right? The northern latitudes. Actually, it’s the most southern of those cities, Italy, Madrid, Spain, Spain. I mean, Madrid, Spain. You head to East from New York City, and you end up logical. Well, both cities lie at about 40 degrees latitude, and then the way they wrote this on travel trivia.com if you’re wondering where the sunny beaches are in New York, keep in mind there are a lot of other factors that impact climate, including the jet stream that carries warm water from the Caribbean to Europe. Other cities on that latitude line are Naples and Sorrento in Italy. They’re both on roughly the same 40 degree line. So you are right, your instinct there was to say Italy instead of Spain,

Marcia Smith 24:53
okay, well, that makes sense. These are all unofficial names for one specific place. Okay? What is it? Paradise, ranch, Watertown, Dreamland, resort. Red Square, the box and the ranch.

Bob Smith 25:07
Red Square. Well, that’s Russia. That’s Moscow, but I don’t think those other terms are for that.

Marcia Smith 25:13
No, no, it’s area 51 that’s the different names people call it. Oh, no kidding, including military, about 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas, somewhere between mile markers 20 and 30 along Nevada’s extraterrestrial highway. Oh, they

Bob Smith 25:30
have an extraterrestrial highway. It’s

Marcia Smith 25:31
actually highway 375, but they call it that. Wow. There lies an unmarked dirt road, and although no buildings are visible from the asphalt, the track leads to Groom Lake, or homey airport, as it’s called, on civilian aviation maps, homey airport, with all of the high tech flights out of area 51 including more than 2850 takeoffs by the aircraft, a 12 reports of unidentifiable flying objects skyrocketed. The government formally acknowledged the existence of area 51 for the first time in 2013 Oh, my God, it took that long. Yes, going back to Roswell, people believe that they took the bodies of their creatures they found on that spaceship to area 51 to study, right? And that’s part of the connection there. So area 51 is still an active base, but the purpose it has served since the 1970s is still a top secret mystery. It will be a few more decades, at least, until current work is declassified and available to the public. That’s according to National Geographic Bob. I believe them. Okay, I’ll end up with a couple of quotes. Bob, okay. One from our own good old Packer coach, Vince Lombardi, he said the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. Okay, that’s a good one. It is. And then from that ever wise sage, Bart Simpson, who said, Aren’t we forgetting the true meaning of Christmas. You know, the birth of Santa.

Bob Smith 27:05
So long, so wrong. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Well, that’s it for today. We hope you’ve enjoyed our half hour of fun and merriment here on the off ramp, we want to invite you.
