Was standing there, totally stupefied, astonished and shocked. My jaw dropped open and stayed that way during his entire explanation. Unfortunately, AJ didn't realise what was going on, and so John's apology speech didn't get recorded. Not even a little bit. :( But, I guess that's the way it's meant to be. :)
