Give Good X; Shalom Chaver

[Paul McFedries]

The "Pierre Salinger syndrome" (believing something is true just because you
saw it on the Internet) strikes again. Something about that quote from Annie
Hall didn't pass the smell test, so I went out and rented the damn thing.
Sure enough, the script I saw at some Web site had it wrong. Here's what the
character *really* says:

"Not only is he a great agent, but he really gives good meeting."

Changing "meetings" to "meeting" makes all the difference in the world.
