Not bad. Got an mp3 version? :)
Intersting bit of trivia about the original gag. Abbott and Costello did
the routine many times over many years. Mostly live, and I have no idea
how many variations were actually recorded. But one version I herd
recently has a couple of subtleties that are only funny knowing it is the
n' hundredth time they had done the routine. Listen close the next time
you hear it...
