Show Description
Shep drinks 3 day old coffer with fur on it.
Salute to student protest in India
Shepherd decides to move East and has a farewell party. He describes the party mispronouncing all the entrée's as he goes along. At the end he gets the check and when he opens his wallet he only has $4 because he forgot to go to the bank!
A salesman from the radio station, Howie, sees the dilema and tells Shep he'll put the $218 on the station exspense account. I'm quitting in two weeks anyway.
