Archie, the man just spakin' Duffy ain't here. Hello, Duffy. Where was our last night? I went to the opera. Yes, the opera, you know, misery with the French horns. Yeah, there's two kinds of people that go to the opera in order as them that goes because they think it's the thing to do and then it's their husband.
Yeah, then it's the type that goes just to... They go just because they get free tickets. Yes, I had a very good seat. In fact, Verapra was the best kind. Yeah, I was behind a post in the last row.
I guess who I met there, he's coming down here tonight. Ed Wind. Wind, up he. As if and if you're married, you can't. Who is he? Well, he's one of those lowbrow comedians. Yeah, you know the kind that gets laughs.
You can't place him. Well, look, up he, remember any old days when you turned on the radio and you used to get a lot of static? Well, if the static giggled, it was wind. Yeah.
Well, look, I think we've had enough fun for one nickel, I'll call you back. Okay, Miss Archer, how'd you like the opera last night? The opera, well, Eddie, it was sort of in between. In the three?
Yeah, too loud for sleeping and too soft for snoring. Oh. How'd you happen to go? What do you mean, how did I happen to go? Well, when you left, yeah, you was cold sober. Well, I thought I told you, you know, I had an anti-ochle.
