Nope. Never heard of it or them.

I used to belong to the musicians union.

Chico: “We get paid $25 for playing.”

Groucho: “How much do you get for not playing?”

Chico: “That’s a $35. We get $45 for practicing.”

Groucho: “What do you get for not practicing?”

Chico: “You couldn’t afford it.”

That’s him who?

Just watched local DFW news. All they reported was over 500 Fed agents in the Austin area.

You on the right thread?
