People just liked it better that way.  
Anyway, another _Dumb and Dumber_ joke I loved that I saw a mile away.

At the end of the movie, the guys find a bus with bikini models.

“Excuse me, we’re looking for 2 guys to rub oil on us.”  
“Well, you’re find some in the next town, that way.”

As they drive off, Lloyd stops the bus.

“My friend is a little slow, the town is the other way.”

Ahh, the whole movie is a string of jokes you see coming but laugh about anyway.

Except for the bit about Harry thinking that his parakeet’s head “fell off”. That I did _not_ see coming. Just typing this still makes a small part of my brain go “_Whhaaa-? No waY! Hyar hyar hyar!_”

A friend and I had this happen in a play! Thunderbirds FAB had live actors playing as the puppets, Captain Scarlett (who wasn’t actually in Thunderbirds, but was in the play, probably just for this line) had chased down the bad guy who promptly pulled a gun and threatened to shoot someone in the front row of the audience.  
Captain Scarlett protested that he couldn’t shoot a member of the paying public - my friend and I were stuffing coat sleeves in our mouths, trying not to laugh before the baddie replied;

“Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn!”

We were on the floor, whimpering in hysterics before the rest of the crowd caught on.
