I think it was Carl Marks, GT, not Ted. After all, he had nothing to lose but his jeans.

Glad to see you back in such fine form. Keep up the shabby bear, er shaggy bear, stories.

I've been hoping you would come to this side of the pond for a visit, but I notice there's no zipper in those jeans; that means you won't be able to get on a plane without a lot of trouble. Being on the No-Fly List and all.
