"Who's on first.  What's on second.  I don't know is on third"
"That's what I'm trying to find out, the man on first."
"Who"
"The man on first"
"Who"
"The man playing first base"
"That's the man's name"
"Whose name"
"That's right"
"Look, all I'm trying to figure out is what's the name of the guy playing first"
"No, what's on second"  IIRC;-)
