That's right. He he signed it himself. Yeah,
I signed myself. And those pictures
those pictures that he has of himself with me, those are Photoshops.
I just took your picture and cut it and pasted it in. Well, now you gave my secret out.
My friend Michelle and I used to do that back before Photoshop, like back in the eighties. We would take like pictures from People magazine and then we would take photographs of our friends and stuff and we would cut out their heads and put 'em on and they were really good, way better than Photoshop. Yeah, we did it long before it was a popular thing. I made memes years ago before they burn a thing. Oh
I can never say I did that. Cheryl, did you ever do anything like that? No.
Did you uh n no. I didn't
do that. Oh, I know. That's crazy.
