...dumb-headed daughter of mine I'm tied hand and foot. She goes back to school on Sunday, THANK GOD! When she's with me, I miss more than ever my Katya and Osia (her children in the Soviet Union). They are so nice, and she (Olga) is a fool, spoiled rotten...

And by far the most hilarious performance of the evening is Joseph Costa...
...talked like a record played at triple speed. As the rivalry has heated up, so has the competitive tone of the fast-delivery advertising. Purolator calls Federal the "inflexible express" and Airborne taunts, "Federal Express does better advertising, so Airborne has to give you better service." Federal retorts, "Why fool around with anyone else...
