Abusing Tom example

See that's what I mean. Howard is authorized to abuse Tom, but does it
subtlety which shows his class.
By the way, can you believe that Steve Stegmann and I were able to get
together for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Not bad for a couple of guys who
have become friends over a distance of a couple of thousand miles.  Maybe
for lunch next week, Steve and I  will go to  Howard there in Auburn where
I can see the cars of my dreams. No, not Scouts in this case, Auburns,
Cords, and Duseys. Ooh, I wish I'd bought that white Cord that was perfect
and was selling for $550. When? What's that got to do with it?
