up, and it was amazing."
2. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse,
and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
3. Grand Prix Race Announcer: "The lead car is absolutely, truly unique,
except for the one behind it which is exactly identical to the one in front
of the similar one in back."
4. Greg Norman, Pro Golfer: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my
mother and father."
5. Ringside Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some
deaths in boxing - but none of them really that serious."
6. Baseball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can
expect the same thing again."

it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
