Fran pulls out the
2...except that it's stuck in there. First, Bob has trouble with the envelope, and now he can't pull the digit in this game.

Before the calldown, Bob notices a lot of enthusiasm for Orville from the ladies in the audience. Why do they like him so much? One audience member thinks he's cute. Has he always been popular? He doesn't know. But he is married, and he has been for 39 years! Wasn't there at least one or two girls who were broken-hearted when he married the girl he married? He's silent...but his wife in the audience says yes. 6th IUFB - A beautiful lady's watch: Benrus watch featuring 32 sparkling diamonds, Italian mesh bracelet, and 17-joule movement (Janice)
