I'll be walking on air! Yes ... they was the top's! He won't need 'em out there - if a big one drops. "Going to keep that sweater?" "No, look at the dirt." "Put that on you, Buddy, "You'll have to read your shirt!"

Brand-new russet shoes, I'll be stepping high! Someone's got to lose, glad I ain't the guy. If I'm going to use 'em, guess I'll have to hurry, The next H.E. may be meant for me -- I should worry!
