“I still have a wife!”
bragged Newt; “In fact, she’s my third!”
No prize for that, pal.

No prize for that, pal.
This 60 year old cellist 's.

Fourth wife is pregnant?

I can’t get one wife.

I can’t get one wife.

Have gotten seven

Have gotten Seven
a new catsuit

and she likes it, too!

And she likes it, too!
Yet she did not like Star Trek
Before she got cast.

The die could roll anything;
Luck be a lady!

Luck be a lady!
and not a gentleman, please;

my destination

My destination?
Does the Styx ferry go to
Philadelphia?
