00:08

here twelve Twelve but most And let's see here But

00:13

most were in paragraph four for the end here Why

00:16

they didn't give us paragraph five like you even have

00:18

to read that thing I wore skim And since fifteen

00:22

years time giving it might seem like tommy guns were

00:24

goingto unhelpfully infected and dying flute and three points I've

00:28

known him going by a shark But most people are

00:31

much more afraid of being killed by a shark than

00:34

of dying from the flu So let's see where that

01:39

afraid of being killed by a shark than of dying

01:41

from the flu But even more people are afraid of
