Sidney Esq. I think Mrs.Claus is crying out for help. She mentioned someone should stick a fork in her because she thinks she's done and you must take her place on San-O Daze. Thank you.
Every time I get a day off in the middle of the week I go to San Onofre for a surf. Every day the road is inaccesable. The Ranger trainee says there's a Club down there who won't asphalt the dirt road. I asked, why not. She said, if you don't like it lump it. Well, I don't like it, why don't you lump this lady, sideways.
Well I went down to Doheny and they have a nice paved road. They also have a club there that sponsors weekly contests that it's members will always win as the judging is fixed.

Thanks Murph, old boy. I receive all my facts from the new 'Legend's of Surfing' fact book. Thanks, Duke.

Murphy sounds a lot like Rod Serling.

Awww, Murphy. That's a bunch of bull pucky, and I'll tell you why. I heard of a man who complained he had no zapatas until he met a man with no feet
