Transcript

The copyrighted program created for Rio Grande. Los Angeles Police calling all cars, attention all cars to broadcast 256 regarding a murder. No description of suspects. Use brick as a weapon. That is all, mama. If you attend the football game tomorrow, you'll see the referee and the captain of the opposing team go into a huddle.

The fellow in the black and white swipes blouse and white monkey bands toss the coin into the air and pointing to one of the captains says, call it, hit, hit it is! And thus this decided which team will kick off.

The other getting a choice of gold, it will defend. A harmless enough form of gambling. But flipping a coin is no way to decide which gasoline is the best. You'll have up the running attack of your motive.

If your machine hasn't been clicked in print, better sign up the all-time, all-American Rio Grande Cracks to play on your team, if the most highly endorsed gasoline sold in the West.
