Hi, Ed Vance!
I read your message from 23.01.2025 05:44

 EV> I have been reading some messages in this forum and began to
 EV> think about  The
 EV> Night Show years ago when Jack Parr was the host
 EV>
 EV> Some nights he would have 4 or 5 people who could use multiple
 EV> languages.
 EV> Jack would (whisper?) tell a short story ( or joke) to one of
 EV> the guest. Each guest would say the story to another guest but
 EV> in another language. When the story was told to the last member
 EV> of the group they would tell  Jack
 EV> and the audience in English what they heard and most times the
 EV> story was  very
 EV> different than it was first told

The weak link had to be blamed. ;-) He understood the story to the extent of his depravity. ;-)

Bye, Ed!
