    A belch. Well, that blows my “heave” theory out of the water, but he had the best seat in the house, so I’ll go with Gersh on this one. Interesting note toward the end about why 53 3/4 and not 54:

    “Yes, bits of hot dog did remain in his cup at the end of the competition — so I docked him a quarter-dog, making the new world record 53-3/4 instead of 54.”

    Larry if your rankings are based on dialogue i think you could have found a spot for me somewhere. Good to hear Ed Jarvis speaking his mind even though the spelling needs to be worked on. Now you know why he prefers the phone as opposed to sending emails
