of him, nor you know, and it's what's inside of
a man that's reporting the intangible?

in the center of my back and I can't get
my finger on it, would that be intangible?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Now, that's just the itch and a bad location.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You see.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Intangible to the something that nobody can put the finger on.
You See, even if you couldn't put your finger on
your itch, I could put my finger on it.
