Thinklish translation: This fellow knows more about polls than a telephone lineman. When someone starts, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here!"—he counts noses to make sure. If he canvassed women, he'd be a calculator. If he totted up crimes of violence, he'd be a stabulator. Actually, he checks on the popularity of Luckies, and that makes him a lauditor! His latest survey makes this heartwarming point: Students who want the honest taste of fine tobacco are unanimously for Lucky Strike!
