LIVE AND IN PERSON: The staff of the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired gets raucous when they watch TV in the Fowler Lounge some evenings. "As opposed to dead and in person?" yells Clara Dix.
"Why not? Remember the Grateful Dead?" Garrell S. Utter replies.
"Maybe it's opposed to live but not really here, like Alaska's Senator Gravel," offers Shirley Glibb. The room falls silent while everyone tries to remember who that is. "Well, I was just trying to help."
Gabby Johnson is Republican, so he changes the subject to prerecorded in front of a live studio audience.
"Hey, look, Leno has a dead studio audience tonight," cracks Laconia Crisp.
