long as we keep that in mind this one degrees
- 01:13
if asked to find the difference that matters the least
- 01:16
Well we'd have a tougher time of it because well
- 01:18
most of these don't matter all that much pick choice

organized as a list and most of fanny's pieces in

- 02:00
of a no no when taking goc option is the
- 02:03
correct answer because it's the on ly one that hits
- 02:06
on anything of substance franklin's letter shows us a man

speaking to a man's needs while fanny's piece shows a
- 02:12
woman thinking about a woman's needs he's from mars She's
- 02:16
from venus Oh when will they ever find common ground

on a planet with a breathable atmosphere that be kind 00:02:23.15 --> [endTime] of nice Oh no
