And we're back to the assumption that P&T knew what pair Paul was
going to wear that hour.


************************

I don't think I'm being clear.  I have every reason to believe that it was

the same pair of gl***** that Penn took from Paul that ended up on Teller.

NOT a duplicate pair.  It wouldn't have mattered which gl***** Paul was 
wearing. They would have ended up on Teller.  But some viewers might
assume 
that a duplicate pair of gl***** was involved which would make the effect 
less amazing to them.

As far as the method goes, I thought it was very clever and well executed.

But the impact of the effect and the actual comedic entertainment value of

the whole, was, I think, weaker than previous P&T outings.
