   Hi, Ed Vance!   
   I read your message from 23.01.2025 05:44   
      
    EV> I have been reading some messages in this forum and began to   
    EV> think about  The   
    EV> Night Show years ago when Jack Parr was the host   
    EV>   
    EV> Some nights he would have 4 or 5 people who could use multiple   
    EV> languages.   
    EV> Jack would (whisper?) tell a short story ( or joke) to one of   
    EV> the guest. Each guest would say the story to another guest but   
    EV> in another language. When the story was told to the last member   
    EV> of the group they would tell  Jack   
    EV> and the audience in English what they heard and most times the   
    EV> story was  very   
    EV> different than it was first told   
      
   The weak link had to be blamed. ;-) He understood the story to the extent of   
   his depravity. ;-)   
      
   Bye, Ed!
