You've had a class in statistical theory I see. And a success at the
Comedy Nightclub as well. Some truly funny stuff to read here, been a

Sorry to say though that the second to last count is wrong. It takes at
least two there, so maybe it's really 228 total.
Am I wetting down the comedy yet? Didn't mean to.
