Lou: Hey, Abbott, I hear you got a new job.
Bud: That's right. I book rock bands for the new arena that just opened.
Lou: So do you know who is the first band you're getting to play?
Bud: I do.
Lou: So who is the first band?
Bud: That's right.
Lou: What's right?
Bud: Who's right.
Lou: You must be because it's your job to book the bands. But I don't know if you're right or not. Never mind the first band. Can you tell me the second band playing at the arena?
Bud: Yes.
Lou: Okay, who is the second band?
Bud: Who is the first band.
Lou: I don't know because you won't tell me.
Bud: I just did.
Lou: And you told me the second band?
Bud: Yes.
Lou: Who were they?
Bud: No, Who is the first band.
Lou: You won't tell me that either. Never mind. I suppose now I have to ... guess who is the third band.
Bud: You are correct.
Lou: About what?
Bud: Guess Who is the third band.
Lou: How would I know? You won't even tell me who plays first.
Bud: I just did.
Lou: Who played first?
Bud: Exactly.
Lou: The name of the band is Exactly?
Bud: No. Who.
Lou: I don't know and I don't care who plays first. Now can you tell me the band who plays second?
Bud: Yes.
Lou: When?
Bud: When what?
Lou: When are you going to tell me who plays second?
Bud: Who plays first.
Lou: I just said I don't care. Okay, how many bands have you booked?
Bud: Four.
Lou: And the last one is who?
Bud: Who is the first band.
Lou: I don't know. What is the name of the last band you booked?
Bud: The Band.
Lou: Yes.
Bud: They play second.
Lou: Who plays second?
Bud: Who plays first.
Lou: I've quit trying. I just want to know the last band.
Bud: The Band. That's the name of the band.
Lou: What kind of a name is That?
Bud: That's their name.
Lou: But why?
Bud: I don't know.
Lou: That is a very strange name for a band.
Bud: But it's their name.
Lou: First you ask me who is the first band, you won't tell me the second band, then you tell me to guess who is the third band and now you tell me That plays last.
Bud: The Band plays last.
Lou: Now, wait a minute. If I listened to the first band, I`d be hearing who?
Bud: Yes.
Lou: I`d be hearing Yes?
Bud: No, Who.
Lou: Who?
Bud: Yes.
Lou: Yes is first? So who is third?
Bud: No, Who is first. Yes is second. Guess Who is third. Then, at the
last concert, The Band plays.
Lou: I know the band plays last. But which band?
Bud: Want to guess who?
Lou: Yes.
Bud: They play second.
Lou: You mean Who plays first, Yes plays second and Guess Who plays third?
Bud: That`s right. That`s the first intelligent thing you`ve said today.
Lou: And I don`t even know what I`m talking about
