"Guys I have it!!"
"Well don't give it me!" replied Ringo making George laugh so hard he nearly chocked.
"Ha Ha(!) I've booked a photographer to come in. He should be here in about half an hour."
John looked up. "What the hell for? Don't we see enough of them? And you invite more!"
"Look it's for the album cover! I'll explain it if you just listen!"
John scoffed at Paul but stayed where he was. Maybe Macca did have a good idea.

"I can put it into reality if you like..." muttered George under his breath

"What do you mean?" said John now very interested. He loved playing practical jokes and this sounded like the best one he could ever play.
"We could produce an album cover with clues on it to validate everything this DJ has been saying!"
By this time Ringo and George looked very interested as well.
"So what you're saying is that we play along with this joker from America and say that you're dead?" asked Ringo
"Well no, we don't actually say that I am dead. We will deny anything if we are asked about it! That way no one will ever work out the truth!"
"That sounds like a plan to me Paulie!! Any other good ideas swimming about in that brain of yours?"
Paul looked over to John and smiled "Of course and if you care to listen...."
