I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you fool，he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been 38 that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew 39 I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very 40 ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．
