I remember all 25. (hears bones creak. ) By the way, Scarecrow, do you have any "Clove" gum to go with that Blackjack? And, would you believe, I just saw in a dollar store some of those wax bottles with a bit of colored sugar-water in them. Almost bought some, but didn't.

Think I'll mosey on back to my rocking chair.

Drat, where's that cane?

13,

And we didn't have 10 of them here in Oz that I'm aware of.
