- The way I remember it was: There was this semi-retarded girl who would
- visit the show every once in a while. One time she did a "gina dance" which
- consisted of her spasmodically convulsing while pulling her clothes
- off. I think she must've been pretty hideous cause Howard sounded a bit
- repulsed and told her to get her clothes back on immediately. She came
- to be known as Gina Girl. She came in once and Howard asked her what she
- was wearing. Since she was a bit retarded she had a funny-sounding voice
- and said mini dress.
- I forgot about the Crazy Jerry guy, but I think he's the one who first
- brought Gina Girl in to visit Howard. Another time, he brought a semi-
- retarded man in and Howard called him Gina Man.
