But he no come out. He wasn't home. Tuesday we go to the ball game, but he fool us. He no show up. Wednesday, he go to the ball game, but we fool him. We no show up.... Friday it rained all day. There was no ball game. So we stayed home. We listened to it over the radio". MAN: "Then you didn't shadow Firefly!" CHICO: "Oh, sure, we shadow Firefly. We shadow him all day." MAN: "What day was that?" CHICO:" It was Shadowday! That's some joke, eh, Boss!" >> | |
