DIALOG 30

THE HUMAN FLY

1--Did you hear about that guy who climbed a skyscraper?
2--I don't believe I did. Was it on the TV news last night?
1--Uh-huh. This guy-calls himself \"the Human
   Fly\" -- climbed up this skyscraper with nothing
   but some big suction cups!
2--I suppose he got arrested.
1--He sure did! As soon as he got to the top of the
   building, the cops were there to grab him!
2--And he'll have to pay a fine, of course.
1--In this guy's case it looks as if he might have to go
   to jail, too!
