PALL, PLEASE DON'T BREAK MY FINGERS, I NEED THEM FOR TYPING! I'D TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW, BUT I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. I WAS MILES AWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I HAVE WITNESSES! THE BARTENDER WILL REMEMEBER ME, BECAUSE I DON'T DRINK. THE WAITRESS WILL REMEMBER ME, BECAUSE I DON'T EAT. THE WOMAN I WAS WITH WILL REMEMBER ME, BECAUSE I STARED AT HER ALL EVENING WITHOUT HAVING ANYTHING TO SAY. I REMEMBER THAT OBAMA WAS TALKING ON THE TV, SOMETHING ABOUT ANOTHER WAR. IS THAT NINE OR TEN? NO ONE PAID ATTENTION, AND SOON SOMEONE TURNED ON A BALLGAME. BUT OBAMA WAS THERE TOO, IN SHORTS AND SHOOTING HOOPS! THEN EVERYBODY WALKED OUT, INCLUDING THE BARTENDER AND WAITRESS. THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER.
