And so all these assembled vice presidents are standing around, he says "come on, I want you to sing it. Now sing it out Shepherd." And so the guy hit the "A" on the piano there and I went "Nedicks, Schmidics, double beaticks, popkins all agree. . .the pinch - (chuckle)" And - and - and all these guys were sitting and looking at me and they take this seriously - they're all sitting there with their iron hats on and one guy nudges the other guy and says "Are we spending dough for this?" And the other guy says "No they're doing it free." And I says - "NO, OH NO - I getting dough for this." I'm not going to let, you know (? Not distinguisable) begin to sneak in on me.
