    I'll make that alright. The next day Tommy went to the court instead of John. Well said the judge how many stars are in the sky. A million said Tommy and if you dont believe me go out and count them. What weight is the moon said the judge. A cwt (4 quarters) said Tommy. What am I thinking of said the judge, you are thinking that I am John but I'm not I'm Tommy
