00:00Well, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, and welcome to QI, the low, low-budget quiz
00:09show, otherwise known as Who Wants To Be A Commissionaire?
00:13Let me introduce our contestants, one of whom tonight has the chance to win absolutely f*** all.
00:22Would it be A, Mark Steele, B, Vic Reeves, C, Roger McDowell, or D, actually, let's ask the audience.
00:38Welcome to you all.
00:42Now, tonight's programme is all about denial and deprivation, so to that end, we've done away with dreary old desks,
00:50we've fired the lighting director, and the audience is actually out in the street tonight.
00:58And, of course, the buzzers tonight will be operated by hand, they'll be hand-cranked, and Roger will go...
01:07Mark goes...
01:11Vic goes...
01:13And Alan goes...
01:20Tonight, denial and deprivation. Each of you has some pieces of jail-breaking equipment, all of which have been successfully
01:29used.
01:30At the end of the show, I'm going to ask you to use your skill and judgement to work out
01:34how it might have been done.
01:37But first, why do children play with their food?
01:42The sixth child of Sigmund Freud was called Anna Freud, and she took up her father's beacon of battiness.
01:48She was the first person to write about denial, that's Sigmund on the right.
01:55For me, playing with food came out of being deprived in Liverpool, when there were no toys.
01:59So did you make sort of things out of meatballs instead of Lego?
02:03Mum used to put on a plate of turnip tops and cockles.
02:07So, as a youth, your toys were cockles?
02:11My first toy was toy cheese.
02:14For Christmas?
02:16Honestly, I was a metal-like cheese portion, which you wound up, used to wind up, I remember this, on
02:21the lino, and put it down.
02:22I used to make, like, cheesy movements.
02:28Cheesy movements?
02:29That's awesome.
02:30That is a very good reason to play with food, and it makes me all the sicker at the weirdness
02:35of Anna Freud.
02:36Anna Freud believed, by playing with their food, they were really playing with their excrement.
02:41The thing is, a child could play with its excrement if it wanted to.
02:45If you wanted to.
02:46Of all human phases that you're in, low infancy is the one where you can most get away with playing
02:50with your excrement.
02:51Oh, he's got his hand in his nappy again.
02:54But that's the one thing that we don't touch.
02:56The Freud family is a good example.
02:58Anna Freud suffered from depression all her life, and never had children.
03:02Sigmund Freud was terrified of the number 62, and so he refused to ever stay in a hotel that had
03:09more than 61 rooms, in case he got number 62.
03:12And the first time after he'd made this rule, the first room that he was booked into was number 31.
03:17And he went, oh, see, half of 62.
03:20Yeah.
03:21But, 62, rounds with poo, six looks like a poo, pursued by a swan.
03:30You know, one of the things that people say is sort of a test of whether you're anal, is whether
03:35you keep your records in alphabetical order.
03:37Yeah.
03:38And I think, well, surely it depends on how many records you've got.
03:41And if you've just got two, and you keep going back and checking them, going, oh, ABBA, ZZ Top, they're
03:45still there, that's all right.
03:47I've got a room full of bloody records.
03:50I keep me in alphabetical order so I can find the one I want.
03:52Apparently it means I've got a problem with me arse.
03:54How is that?
03:56I shouldn't think, in her time, they had alphabety spaghetti.
04:03That's true.
04:04Which was the main reason I play with my food every breakfast.
04:07I just insert my meatballs at me arsehole whenever they turn up on the plate.
04:13And if they want to call you anal, it's up to them.
04:15It's in their court.
04:17The ball is in their court.
04:18The ball is up for us.
04:22Ineffably, imponderably stupid and wonderful.
04:25Now, Vic, does your wife like banting?
04:29Does she like a good bant?
04:31Has she ever banting?
04:31Oh, regularly.
04:33Does she?
04:33On a Sunday afternoon after the war film.
04:37She bants, does she?
04:39My wife adores bunting.
04:41Yes.
04:41Does she?
04:43This is banting.
04:44It's what we call a back formation.
04:46Do you know the verb to mafic?
04:48Which means to celebrate.
04:50Which comes from mafeking night.
04:52When the relief of mafeking in the Burr War.
04:54And so people said, we're mafeking.
04:55Rather like the old joke about Kipling.
04:57I don't know, I've never kippled.
04:58Because it's obviously Kipling's not a verb.
05:00Nor is mafeking.
05:01But banting is the same thing.
05:02There was actually a man called William Banting.
05:04Who started a fad that is still with us today.
05:07He wrote a book called The Letter on Corpulence in 1864.
05:11And he was the first man systematically to come up with diets.
05:15To bant is to diet.
05:16I'm banting.
05:17Biltong is a dried meat, isn't it?
05:19Yes, it is.
05:21And building is a sort of large edifice.
05:25Air-dried meat is a mystery to me.
05:28Is it?
05:30Because I tried to do it.
05:31I was in a restaurant.
05:32Had a bit of steak and tried to dry it out in the toilets on the hand dryer.
05:37Life with Vic.
05:40No, anyway, William Banting, as I say, started this trend.
05:44Which before, really, in our civilization at least, fatness had been a sign of prosperity and no one had ever
05:49worried about it.
05:50But they think that the person who really started the trend in America was William Howard Taft, the American president,
05:57who got stuck in a bath once.
05:58He was so fat.
06:00And he decided to do something about it.
06:02Went on a diet.
06:02And this became well known.
06:03And at the same time, Hollywood was beginning, of course.
06:06And suddenly this idea of trying to be thin caught on and has been plaguing us ever since, of course.
06:11As late as the 50s, the big fad was the tapeworm pill.
06:15You swallowed a pill that had a tapeworm egg in it.
06:18Because people observed that poor people were very thin often.
06:22Perhaps it was because they often had parasites and worms and so, not because they weren't eating enough.
06:27No, no, no.
06:27A friend of mine had a tapeworm.
06:28Really?
06:30Three feet long.
06:31When did he discover that he hadn't even went to the doctor?
06:35Fair enough.
06:37I don't know how they got it out.
06:38Is that a rumor about the Mars bar, isn't there?
06:41Oh, go on what?
06:42You've got a tapeworm, you starve yourself, then you put out the Mars bar near your...
06:49Yes.
06:50And the tapeworm is so hungry, it comes out and goes for the Mars.
06:55And you grab it and pull it out.
07:03So there we are.
07:04More on disturbing physical practices now.
07:07What is meant by the expression, Hoover the talking seal?
07:12What would I mean if I said that?
07:15It's either one of those wonderful Oz expressions for throwing up.
07:19Just going out to Hoover the talking seal.
07:23Or my wife came in just as I was hoovering the talking seal.
07:29Edgar Hoover. None of the presidents liked him at all.
07:32They all tried to get rid of him, particularly Nixon.
07:34I imagine him flopping round the oval room, you know, balancing a ball on his head.
07:39Or it could be a talking seal called Hoover.
07:42Ah-ha!
07:43Ah! Yes!
07:45It's a talking seal called Hoover.
07:46It's a talking seal called Hoover.
07:51The only mammal ever known to have produced human speech.
07:58He was found as a seal pup in 1971 in Maine by a family called the Swallows.
08:03And they found that he started talking.
08:05And he even had a Bostonian accent.
08:09I don't know if you'll agree.
08:10I think he's saying here something like hello there and get out of here.
08:14In a more or less New England accent.
08:22Get out of here.
08:23I think it's get out of here, come on, get down.
08:26Let's hear that again.
08:27We've got to hear it one more time.
08:32I have to say, I've heard Americans a lot less eloquent than that.
08:37He died at a very ripe old age in 1985.
08:40What were his final words?
08:41Well, yes.
08:44All right, get out of here!
08:47But he appeared on ABC's breakfast show, Good Morning America.
08:51He received his own obituary in the Boston Globe.
08:54Now, from the Blah Blah Seal to La Bastille.
08:58Do you see what I've done there?
08:59It's in Paris.
09:02Paris is good.
09:03Yes.
09:04Very good.
09:04Can you tell me anything else interesting about La Bastille, either of you, Mark?
09:07It was a prison.
09:08It was a prison.
09:09And it was stormed on July the 12th.
09:1214th.
09:1314th, but close.
09:14Two days out.
09:15You say two days out, but I'd have stormed it two days earlier.
09:17I'd have been on my island.
09:19There were only seven prisoners, weren't there?
09:22It's exactly the right number.
09:23There were only...
09:24Two lunatics.
09:25Yes, that one.
09:27Oh.
09:30Two lunatics, two forgers, two thieves, and a very bad mime artist.
09:37Wasn't he convinced he was Julius Caesar, one of them?
09:39Oh, this is good.
09:40You're getting points, too.
09:41I'll come to this.
09:42This is impressive.
09:44Listen to this.
09:46We have four forgers.
09:48We have the Count de Solange, who was inside for sexual misdemeanors.
09:52Of an unspecified kind.
09:54Two lunatics, one of whom was an Englishman or an Irishman, they're not quite sure,
09:58called Major White, with a waist-length beard, who thought he was Julius Caesar.
10:02The Marquis de Sade would have been in the prison at the time of the Storm in the Bastille.
10:06It's a very tragic story, this, because he was in there for a long time,
10:09but a week before the Storm in the Bastille, he was transferred to another prison
10:13because he'd been upsetting passers-by by shouting obscenities at them through a tube out the window.
10:18This is, it's as if you've been reading my card, Mark.
10:21And so all this stuff, it was tragic, because he spoke to his wife and he said,
10:24look, can you make sure you go round there and pick all this right?
10:27I've spent years writing in there.
10:29But she thought, well, you know, no rush is there, it's the Bastille.
10:32Safest place in Paris.
10:34And then I think she went down there on the day of the Storm in the Bastille and thought, oh
10:37shit.
10:39Absolutely right.
10:40Ten days before the Storm in was when he was moved to Vincennes,
10:44and the authorities were upset because he was shouting not just obscenities,
10:46but anti-monarchist sentiments at passers-by.
10:49So they moved him to Vincennes, otherwise he would have been released.
10:52It was rather like the Tower of London, even at the Tower of London's height,
10:55it was quite a civilised place to be a prisoner.
10:57I mean, you've got wine and food, and you've got an allowance, you've got tobacco,
11:01you could move around as much as you'd like.
11:03So this was like the Groucho of the prison world.
11:06The English equivalent, as I've mentioned, is the Tower of London.
11:10So tell me why the Cray twins were imprisoned in the Tower of London.
11:14Were they ravens?
11:15No, that's a cunning answer.
11:17The ravens do have weird names, and they're literally prisoners
11:20because they're kept in cages at the moment because of the worries of bird flu.
11:23They're called Gwilym, Thor, Eugene, Mewnin, Branwyn, Bran, Gandalf and Baldrick.
11:31And Dave.
11:33So they did actually have the Cray.
11:34They had Ronnie and Reggie of the three Cray brothers.
11:37Was there a prison officer's strike or something?
11:38And there was nowhere else to put them?
11:40No, they were a bit younger than that.
11:41Did they go on a school trip?
11:43No.
11:44National Service.
11:45Very good, absolutely right.
11:47Because there was a barracks there, wasn't there?
11:48There was a barracks there, and that was their one.
11:50It was the City of London Regiment of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers,
11:53which is where people like Michael Caine had gone when they'd done their National Service.
11:57People in the East End, that was their local barracks.
12:00But they were actually imprisoned there because when they did their National Service,
12:04they didn't like it.
12:05Ron and Reggie didn't like it.
12:07And they beat up their training sergeant and went home to have tea with their mum.
12:14The weird thing about Ronnie is he was pretty, pretty psychopathic, and as most people know, he was gay.
12:18But he had this weird thing that everyone had to admire, his boyfriend.
12:22So they'd have a meeting of the firm, and there'd be the heads of Plasto and Hackney and Dalston
12:26and all the local branches of the firm.
12:28And there'd be Ronnie the Colonel, and there'd be a 17-year-old youth called Cyprian or something.
12:34And Ronnie would go, hello everybody, this is Cyprian.
12:36Hello, Cyprian.
12:38And Ronnie would go, isn't he gorgeous?
12:39And they'd all have to go, oh, he's lovely, Ronnie!
12:42Oh, you pick him!
12:45Oh, you happy dog!
12:48David Putnam, of all people, used to manage them for a very short period of time.
12:51I know, it's weird.
12:52Yeah, he did.
12:53They wanted to go legitimate.
12:54And he tells the story of how they were with David Bailey,
12:57who took those famous photographs of the two of them in suits, you know,
13:00standing one behind the other.
13:01And they were all in this pub.
13:03It wasn't the blind beggar, but it was a cray pub.
13:06Ronnie had gone off.
13:07He was the insane one.
13:08So they're left with Reggie, who's supposedly the normal one.
13:10And these couple of drunks come in.
13:12And they suddenly spot David Bailey.
13:15And they go, oh, you're David Bailey, ain't you?
13:16Go on, take me a photograph.
13:18And David Bailey goes, no, no.
13:19He says, no, don't be a f***ing arse.
13:21Oh, take me a photograph.
13:22He says, no, no.
13:23I've run out of film.
13:24Don't give me that.
13:25Take my photograph.
13:27Reggie gets up and looks at himself in the mirror across the bar like that.
13:31And suddenly goes, baff, like that.
13:33And knocks him right across the room.
13:34And he bangs his head against the piano.
13:37And blood stops to trickle down.
13:38And his mate goes to him.
13:39And they just flee.
13:40And David Bailey, to his credit, is very angry.
13:43He says, Reggie, you are a tosser.
13:45And for God's sake, I get this every day.
13:46I'm a photographer.
13:47People know what I look like.
13:48I can handle it.
13:49You don't have to do that.
13:49You could have killed him.
13:50There was this terrible silence that Reggie had been shouted at like this.
13:54And he gave a little shy smile.
13:55He said, well, to tell you the truth, Mr Bailey, I'd have my eye on that f***ing all afternoon.
13:59He'd been eating my sandwiches.
14:03Very scary.
14:05Anyway.
14:11Hoover the talking seal.
14:13An audacious, loquacious seal called Hoover.
14:16After each meal, having vacuumed the fish right out of the dish, would jabber and babble, blabber and gabble, chatter
14:22and prattle and spiel.
14:23Very, very good.
14:25Oh.
14:28Our Roosevelt poem, Mr. Roosevelt, thank you very much indeed.
14:32The Hoover poem.
14:33All this talk of crime brings us to the short, sharp shock that we call general ignorance.
14:38So fingers on your hand-cranking buzzers and bells, please.
14:41And what are the four main religions of...
14:51What are the four main religions of India?
14:54Yes, Alan.
14:56Uh, Sikhs.
14:58Yep.
14:59Buddhism.
15:01Oh, no.
15:03Hinduism.
15:04Hinduism, yes.
15:06Christianity.
15:07Yes.
15:07And one more.
15:08You've only said...
15:09Islam.
15:10Muslim.
15:10Islam, yes.
15:11In correct order, they are Hindu, Islam, Christian and Sikh.
15:16No, Buddha.
15:16There are Buddhists.
15:17It was invented in India, of course.
15:19The Buddha was an Indian.
15:20But it's not one of the four main religions.
15:23There are 805 million Hindus.
15:26There are 134 million Muslims.
15:30Ooh.
15:31There are 23 million Christians.
15:34Which is 23...
15:36Which is 22 and a half million more than there are in Britain.
15:39And there are 19 million Sikhs.
15:42Buddhists, there are 7 million of them.
15:450.7% of the population.
15:47Well, Buddhism was founded in India.
15:49Its spiritual home today is, of course, Tibet.
15:51And the taking of life is forbidden in Buddhism.
15:55Tibetan butchers, therefore, are ranked amongst the lowest of the low.
16:00Along with undertakers and blacksmiths, oddly enough.
16:03But whose job is it in Tibet to milk the yaks?
16:06I know who cleans the hooves.
16:08Who's that?
16:09Yaksmiths.
16:10Yaksmiths?
16:11Yaksmiths.
16:12A milkman.
16:13Is there a milkman after a milkman?
16:14Oh, no, there is no milkman.
16:16There.
16:17There.
16:18Milk.
16:18Is it nice?
16:19Tibet smells of butter, they say.
16:21There's butter everywhere.
16:22The trick part of it is that the yak is the male of the species.
16:25Ah.
16:26So nobody milks a yak.
16:27What's a female called?
16:29The nak.
16:29A nak?
16:30A nak or a drink.
16:32One of the things I really don't remember Tibet, and about yaks too.
16:35They make sculptors, apparently.
16:37They do.
16:38Every year there's a festival of these sculptors made out of buttermilk.
16:41And there's apparently a guy in their twenties, who's a famous surrealist Buddhist sculptor,
16:45actually made a yak out of buttermilk.
16:47Wow.
16:47Which he was able to milk.
16:49And made another.
16:50Even larger.
16:54How tall is a wild yak?
16:56I think enormous.
16:57Yeah.
16:58I'm going six feet.
16:59Yes.
17:00Six-five.
17:00My height, in fact.
17:01Yeah, I'm going to say four foot.
17:04Well, that would be a domesticated yak.
17:06I'm going to say nine, maybe ten foot.
17:09I've already told you that it's six feet five.
17:12I think it's about fifteen foot.
17:17I'm so glad I was never your teacher.
17:19I really am.
17:20But yeah, you're right.
17:20Twenty foot, sir.
17:24Aside from their meat and all their milk products, particularly the yoghurt and the butter and the cheese,
17:29they have the longest hair of any animal, the yak.
17:31It's two foot long.
17:32And it was used for?
17:34Wigs.
17:3417th century wigs.
17:35Your periwig.
17:36Your Charles II style wig.
17:38And in fact, the BBC wig store, we checked, still has quite a large number of yak wigs.
17:43And if you're going to play Santa at Christmas, then the chances are your beard will be yak.
17:48Couldn't we introduce the yak to Britain?
17:51I don't see why not.
17:52I mean, they are rather specialised for the altitudes in Tibet.
17:56If you introduce them to Britain, they'd blow up.
17:59It's a huge, incredible sight.
18:01Why not?
18:03Or, we could have yaks dangling from balloons.
18:07The altitude would be right.
18:13It could.
18:14I love the idea.
18:16Have a hot air balloon.
18:18Come up to see the yak fields.
18:235,000 feet up.
18:25And they're still grey.
18:27On what air?
18:31They'd have to be up there because their blood cells are half the size, but they have twice as many.
18:34So actually, when they came down to sea level, they'd be immensely powerful.
18:40Like Terrence Stamp in Superman 2.
18:42Very much like that.
18:43Yeah.
18:45Kneel before Zod.
18:48Kneel before Zod.
18:53Yeah.
18:53Let's move from yaks now to crabs.
18:56How many legs do crabs have?
18:58I know.
18:59Yes.
19:00Eight.
19:00Eight.
19:01We've got eight there.
19:05They've, of course, got ten!
19:07And they're snippers!
19:10Well, the answer is ten.
19:12You're right.
19:12The front ones are tucked in, as you can see, but they do count as legs.
19:15No, they don't
19:19What animal has legs that don't reach the floor?
19:22They do walk with them. Sort of legs of eight. They are functioning legs. They do walk with them sideways
19:27backwards forwards
19:28I do have a children's poem. I remember it. Oh, go on. Yeah, a crab
19:32I'm told will not bite or poison you just for spite won't lie and wait beneath a stone
19:37Until one morning out alone you poke a finger like a fool into an innocent-looking pool
19:43Won't grab your hand and drag you off across the sand
19:46Down into the bottom of the sea to eat you dressed for Sunday tea and grab
19:50I'm told is a bundle of fun with claws like that pull the other one
20:01They're not legs
20:07Of course if you said six you could have been right because the crab louse has six
20:13six
20:15Well done. What are you thinking of a crab louse our crab louse and where do crab lice live in
20:20a crab louse house?
20:29In your pubes or in one's pubes every disgusting they do
20:34Go to boots and say one's pew
20:36These are crab louse. I said crab louse. A bottle of quillarder lotion if you please
20:43Is said crab louse related to that crab?
20:46No, they're called it because they latch on to the follicles of the pubes or the eyebrow or the eyelashes
20:52even and beards
20:53Why are you looking at me?
20:55I have had crabs and I got them from a dodgy sofa
21:01That's what she told me
21:05I went to the doctors and it was one of those traditional british doctors with a big bowtie
21:11And it took his bifocals off and said hmm
21:17Strapped on some binoculars and then looked at my pubes very closely and went hmm
21:24And I just craced up laughing he said I'm fed this boy. You're gonna have to stop laughing. You're jiggling
21:29about and I can't focus on the crab
21:36Now what did george washington have to say about cherry trees?
21:41No one wants to say the obvious what's the obvious in his garden was a tree?
21:47Which he didn't chop down yes, you're avoiding our trap
21:50There's a famous story every American knows about washington saying papa. I cannot tell a lie
21:55I cut down the cherry tree with my axe
21:57It's a completely made-up story written for children by someone called parson weems
22:01Who tells this story to show what an honest fellow he was that even as a six-year-old child
22:06he said I cannot tell a lie
22:09His father said something like
22:11my son
22:13That you've told the truth means more to me than a thousand trees bathed in gold or silver
22:18This is brilliant you can must get points here
22:20But I remember this just when I was young because I really wanted someone to say that to me
22:23You know your dad he broke his favorite cup, you know who brought my cup? I did dad you bloody
22:28you know
22:29He never said run to my arms you dearest boy run to my arms
22:35Glad am I George that you killed my tree for you have paid me for a thousand fold such an
22:40act of heroism in my son is worth more than a
22:42Thousand trees though blossomed with silver and their fruits of purest gold as if anything pretty has it now see
22:49babies now
22:52Next what would you call these people?
22:57Yeah, they feed it oh
23:00Yes, they are
23:04Yeoman, yeoman of the guard
23:06Well, I know that that's what people call them beef eaters
23:09No, no these are yeoman of the guard and those are beef eaters different uniform. Oh, yeah, isn't it?
23:16Well to me Aston Villa and West Ham have the same uniform the yeoman of the guard awake it
23:24Just so you get it clear the ones with the straps of the yeoman of the guard the ones without
23:27the straps are the beef eaters
23:29They are the yeoman wardens the ones who would have looked after ronnie and reggie no doubt and if we
23:33can go back to look at the yeoman of the guard
23:35They have the arquebus strap their guns for the actual yeah
23:39Are they allowed to go to spec savers or should they all be?
23:43So yes, the yeoman warders who never carried guns have a slightly different strapping arrangement in their uniforms and they're
23:49the jailers of the tower of london
23:51Speaking of which brings us to our final challenge for you. You should have your four props
23:57And I want to see if you've worked out how you could use them for escaping from jail. That's a
24:02green felt tip pen
24:04It was used for an escape by someone called stephen russell from the estelle unit in houston texas
24:09Did he color himself green? Yes pose as a leaf
24:14You were nearly there you wore a white jumpsuit only painted it green so he looked like one of the
24:19prison guards one of the doctors
24:21And he escaped as a doctor. He just walked out the door. What have you got there roger? What's that?
24:26Dental floss dental floss this was vincenzo curcio a mafiosa
24:31And this was only in the year 2000 quite recently in turin
24:35He was guilty of murder and arranging seven other murders. He was a serious criminal
24:39How did he escape using any dental floss you get your dental floss hang it round the bars and leave
24:45it dangling?
24:46Then you get your potato and
24:49You break it up and you stick it on the floor in front of the door
24:53Yes, and then you put spots all over yourself at the green
24:57Yeah, yeah, make plague noises
25:01When the warder runs in opens the door because he slips. Yeah careers across the cell door getting chili powder
25:08Throw it in his eyes
25:10And then in the confusion get the end of the dental floss and tie it to the inside of the
25:15door
25:16So when he gets up screaming, so you bastard out of you runs out slams the door behind him the
25:22bars
25:29You've used all four props for one escape
25:32But let's just keep with the floss this man vincenzo curcio this mafioso
25:38He flossed the bars
25:41And it soared through them
25:43That's how strong the floss was and these particular iron bars were very good at withstanding
25:47Explosions, but not good at withstanding dental floss
25:52What about the chili powder?
25:54Well, I think they're throwing it in someone's eyes
25:56It is exactly right it happened in pakistan in 1997 five prisoners escape by throwing chili powder in the eyes
26:02of a prison officer
26:04So that leaves us the potato
26:06Is it like an escape from alcatraz where you just draw a picture on it and it looks like your
26:11head and you leave it in the bed
26:14Well not far off have you ever seen a film called take the money and run the wonderful woody allen
26:19film and he does something with soap
26:20Do you remember you to make a gun shape of a gun what woody allen does is he carves a
26:24gun out of soap
26:26And then blacks it with boot black so it looks just like a pistol
26:29And then he holds up the prison officer and they go out across the courtyard and it's raining and when
26:33you cut to the wide shot
26:35ball of lava
26:37And then he's led back into the prison but he was basing it on the true story one of the
26:41most famous criminals in the 20th century america
26:43Deringer dillinger dillinger john dillinger carved his potato into the shape of a gun and got away with it
26:50But a very small gun if you had to carve one out of that it may have been a bigger
26:54potato it'd be pathetic
26:57Which brings us to the small matter of the scores ladies and gentlemen in equal first place with time off
27:03for good behavior remission and patrol
27:05vick and roger on one point
27:12In third place just over the wall mark steele on minus six
27:23But banged up in solitary tonight it's alan on minus 39
27:38And my thanks go to roger vick mark and alan i leave you with a famous denial when the american
27:44president thomas jefferson
27:45Was asked if he was having an affair with one of his slaves sally hemings he replied the man who
27:52fears no truth
27:53Has nothing to fear from lies
27:56dna recently on sally's descendants has shown that this meant yes
28:01good night
