So you not going to Kansas? That's nothing to do with you being sick of gravel? Oh, you're sick, you ask that question. You are sick. Who are you with? I'm a Reuters, sir. You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way. Well, we're just going to make sure you're doing well. Look at this guy. He's way out of shape. Look at how badly he comes to me. Sir, you're not going to Kansas. I'm not going to Kansas because he's doing very well. I'm going to do a tell -around. Tomorrow I'm doing Florida. He said, what's the reason — after doing what? Twenty -eight. He says, what's the reason for this, sir, that you're not going to Kansas? You know what the reason is? I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm going to Florida tomorrow, and I'll do if something else comes up. But he said, you're not going to Kansas, sir. Are you feeling well? You've been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect. You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell.
