See I was in the process of answering a question that had been asked by an audience member, when a woman who was extremely distraught, screamed out from the back corner of the auditorium, people are going to die, Ernst said Saturday.
And I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that, yes, we are all going to perish from this earth. So I apologize, and Im really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well, she continued.

I hope Ernst's "apologies" continue, until she's nothing more than a bad memory.
