My new offer will be less."
And of course, the one time the convention crowd was so big they opened a second door further away from Mr. Mint's "door." Even standing in the back of the room, you could hear him "complain."

Funny...I used to see him that University of New Haven show and he was right there when you walked through the door. Usually sitting alone with no one to talk to.
