She looks at her hand questioningly and exclaims,"Oh, no!"<BR><BR> Linus sitting on the bean bag in front of the t.v., turns his head and asks,"What's the matter?"<BR><BR> He approaches her standing by the lamp on the table. She shows him her hand and says,"Look at the bump on the back of my hand..." He looks at it and says, "You have a 'Ganglion'" He continues,"You know how they say to cure it? You have someone hit it with a bible!"<BR><BR> She asks,"With a what?" He replies,"I wonder which translation would work best...."<BR><BR> They stand in the living-room and she nurses her hand. He looks at the bookcase and says,"I suppose they used the 'King James' in the old days...the 'Revised Standard' should work just as well"<BR><BR> He flips through a book and says,"Maybe the 'Tyndale' or the 'Dovay'....or maybe we should use the 'Moffatt'...." She reaches out a book to him and says,"What are you mumbling about? Here, hit it with this..."<BR><BR> She adopts a pained expression as he stands on a foot-stool and bonks her with the book atop her head. She sits on the floor and calls out to him,"What do you think you're doing? You were supposed to hit my hand!"<BR><BR> He turns and watcher her walk off. He says,"Sorry...you moved" She continues walking and replies,"I'm gonna do what I should have done! I'm gonna call our doctor!"<BR><BR> He holds up the book in his hand and calls out to her,"Wait a minute! This was 'A Tale of Two Cities'!!"<BR><BR>
