“Ladies and gentlemen”, said Colombo, “I have here a common household egg which I shall now ask the ushers to pass among you so you may see for yourself that there are no wires or strings attached. While this is being done, ladies and gentlemen, I wish that three of you would step up on the stage. Any three—don’t be bashful girls— I won’t hurt you. Won’t that couple over there kindly oblige me— that married couple—no, folks, I guess they aren’t married either— they look too happy.”
