-Before Sitting Still MS "Let me tell you a story just for one second.  This has nothing much to do with very much but I've really wanted to tell this for about three days.  On Tuesday night we were leaving.  I'm always the last one to leave, because I know more people than anyone in the world. (This sentance is repeated) and so the other night after the show we were leaving, and everyone else got limousines but I had this rental car, which is a small white car.  It's very ugly, it barely drives.  Not very ostentatious, but anyways.  Someone got the rental and picked it up for me and droppped it off by the place where we leave the auditorium here, the Fox Theater as it were, so to speak.  And there's this security guard, this guy who's been standing there all night, securing things.  He comes out to the car and hands me this cigar that's all wrapped up.  And I found out later that he works at (?) and he's a really nice guy.  So he hands me this cigar and I'm smoking a cigarette because I smoke occasionally though I don't advocate it.  So I'm smoking, he says 'Do you smoke cigars?' and I go 'Well the last time was when I was 17 years old and I was in high school and we went out, we had this 45 minute lunch hour and we'd go out to the park and smoke a cigar together by the swimming pool(?)'.  I said that was 10 years ago.  I'm 27.  17 plus 10 is 27.  That was 10 years ago, constituting a decade.  So no, I haven't smoked a cigar in a decade.  He said "Well this cigar is made in Havanna and it was rolled by 14 year old virgins.  I'm not the most naive person in the world but I really didn't catch the intracacies of that.  Plus I didn't know there was a Cuban embargo!  So the next night I'm sitting at the (?) 65 miles from here, this small little Vegas (?) town which isn't quite as (?).  So I look up, there's all these newspapers around and I pull out this cigar and I go 'Look at this.  This is a Havanna cigar and a security guard gave it to me and I founfd out he's an honest (?)'.  Two points.  Three points.  Sorry.  I'm not a big sports follower.  So anyway, I'm sitting here in the john and I'm reading this newspaper and I'm reading about the jail and about all these Cubans that are having all these problems (unintelligible) and I realize that I'm smoking this Cuban cigar with this big ring on my hand wearing this suit that is made out of wool and a silk shirt on that I bought for two dollars.  It's still silk.  And reading about these guys that are (?) their way about this situation and I'm smoking this cigar that's illegal in this country.  And I just thought I'd tell you here, I just thought I'd share with you".
