Excellent "jorb", guys!

The text messaging guy said he was able to send 160 characters in 57 
seconds. By my calculations, that's roughly 33 wpm.  A lot of us can do 
far better than that!  He's going to have to double his speed if he wants 
to beat the competition.

I didn't watch the show; I've just seen the clips posted on internet.  
Who was the desperate housewife?  Was it the girl Jay was talking to at 
first about being a loan person?

73, Zack W9SZ
