g? wait a minute. there's a lot of ways henry might win. one way is by pure chance and then there's the fact that henry's overdo for some good luck. and there's one more way and i believe that's the way that i prefer. whatt?'s tha cheating. you mean, rig it so's he'd win? that's right andy, how can a respectable sheriff and an upstanding group of citens like us perpetrate such a thing? ll, if the upstanding group ofitizens aunt bee, there'll be a hat full of numbers there, right? uh-huh. and corresponding numbers in a fish bowl. now, suppose we had all the numbers in the hat and the fishbowl the same? well, that would mean everybody'd be a winner. it would, it would. supposing we got everybody to agree not to answer when the number's called. henry'd the oy one to speak up. he'd have to be the winner. that'sight yowant to do that? i think that's a pretty good idea.
