<sigh>

Griff's from Maine, (maybe dad is, too) so I'm sure New York City must appear to have lots of people, by comparison. I wonder just how many he thinks there are in the city? And in just one borough of that city?

Incidentally, there was a very young child (perhaps the youngest I've ever seen on the show) sitting next to Griff's dad in the audience, who I assume was Griff's daughter. An attentive host might have asked a question about her, when he asked about Griff's +1. Not Terry, though. And since Griff never got a second bantering break, we'll never know.

Oh, isn't sarcafont working any more, since Dave fixed the last round of Bored problems?

Okay, it does work. Thank you for the private message that pointed out my typo in the sarcafont code. I hardly see why that information had to be in a private message, though. After all, sarcafont is an important public service!
