RAY: Well, this was submitted by Leo Leonard from Lynnwood, Washington and I chose it because it was written by hand, on a piece of paper --

TOM: With lines on it, from a pad. A pad of paper. He just wrote it on a pad of paper and tore it off --

RAY: Like a semi-legal pad, with a margin on one side. That's semi-legal?

TOM: That's --

RAY: Para-legal. The legal pads have a margin on both sides, right? So, you can what? Write in the margins.

TOM: Yeah. Right.

RAY: What makes a pad legal?

TOM: Well, as long as it's not violating any of the basic laws.

RAY: As long as it's not contraband. I don't know. This is in the form of a riddle.

TOM: A riddle? That's a new... That's new.

RAY: An automotive riddle and I lied earlier. I said the puzzler was non-automotive in nature, but that's only because I really didn't have a puzzler.

TOM: Well, while we were talking and it was sitting there in the pile, it became automotive. Something happened to it.

RAY: Here. Here --

TOM: There's no way to predict these things.

RAY: What is it that you --

TOM: They just happen.

RAY: What is it that we, for a long time, could rarely do with our cars and then we could, and now it would take you ten times longer to do it, if you could.

TOM: Wow! I love it.

RAY: What is it that you could rarely do and then you could do easily and then now, if you wanted to do it, it would take you ten times longer than it used to.

TOM: Wow. That's perfect. That's good.

RAY: Do you like it?

TOM: I like it. No one will get it.
