Nice twist...who's on first One of my favorites is when Abbott talks Costello into loaning him some money but Lous only got half of what he asks for so he tells him to give him what he's got and he can owe him the other half, etc.. A classic team! Thanks for the memories...oh wait a minute wasn't that Hope, I hope what....oh never mind. Mike
