crazy about any of them well no new york new york is fine okay do you have a question for mr melvin
yeah i've been having this problem because a week or so ago i broke up with a guy that i've
been dating for about two two years or so and he's been possessive and a little jealous and
i'm afraid that he might do something a little drastic like physical injury or something if i
happen to go out with someone else and i really i don't know what to do it's in your hands
jim your ex-boyfriend is bluffing i suggest you date as many guys as you can
have your new boyfriend drive you by the old one's house honking and laughing letting your
ex know what a great time you're both having when you get a chance show your ex the wonderful gifts
your new boyfriends have given you let him know that your world is perfect now and that there's no

a scathing indictment on the school system there isn't it all right john just let's put all this
geography nonsense out of our heads do you have a question for mr mellman yeah we're on spring
break from school and a bunch of school kids come up here and we're wondering what we should see in
new york and what we shouldn't well you should see the world trade center and the wall street area
they're pretty big and right in manhattan also the statue of liberty that's pretty obvious central
park is pretty big i don't see how you could miss that one if i'm guessing right you shouldn't see
the alician islands that's in alaska and although they're big too it's just too damn far away i
also have my doubts about you seeing any of south dakota can you believe it's still snowing up there

what do you what are you studying at the university of tennessee physics physics
and what do you want to do when you get out there is nothing to do with your physicists
well uh for your folks this has been money well spent that's right uh okay you have uh do you
have a question for mr mellman yes i do uh i'm up here on spring break and driving up i noticed
that why is it you always seem to get better gas mileage on the first half of a tank of gas
i'm glad you asked that question bill the reason is because any dirted sludge in your gasoline
tends to settle in the lower part of your gas tank when this dirty gas is drawn into
the engine it burns less efficiently and lowers your mileage do what i do never let your tank
get below three quarters full just pull into every gas station you see and topper off sure it takes
a lot of time but i have nothing better to do do you thank you for your interesting questions
it was an interesting question we have a t-shirt thank you bob there you are have a nice vacation
thank you folks we ran out of time i'm lawfully sorry what is your name susan spelling susan we
don't have time for your question and i feel that you perhaps are the luckiest of the bunch
uh we have to pause we'll be right back folks so return won't you thank you
