Phil providing the Laff-a-lympic commit with the company of Gigi for the evening, assigned Harvey to represent Grape Ape and clear him of charges of using performance enhancing drugs, and hiring one of the committee members sons be Harvey’s legal secretary. The committee, who was considering Phil's city and Papua New Guinea, eventually settled on Dallas for the site of the next games possibly due to the death of one of the committee members ‘man in kilt’.
