Ask the cop on the corner.

Ask the cop on the rooftop.

Ask the cop in the woodshed.

Ask that cop that’s knocking on your … back … door.

[knock knock knock]

Go ahead … Ask him!

Er … Mister Policeman, what makes America great?

It’s candied apples  
and ponies with dapples

It’s girls with pimples

that just won’t go away.

It’s spics and whops

It’s mics and chinks

Aw come on Dad! It’s not every day a boy graduates from high school.

How many times have I heard _that_ before?

My, my, just look at the time. I’ll be late for my bridge club.

Gee Mom, isn’t that bridge built yet?

Hey! What are you guys doing in my car?

The Foxtrot! You can have the next dance by passing the fox.

Did I pass a gas station?

No, no; but the fox did - squeeze him right there, maybe he’ll pass another one!

No, no, no GAS-O-LINE!

Oh, if it’s drugs you want, my boy, the old Doctor can help you out. Roll up your arm and bend over. What do you want, Regular or Premium?

You guys are nothing but a pack of cards.

Hi, I’m Joe Beets. Say, what chance does a returning deceased war veteran has for that good-paying job, more sugar, and the free mule you’ve been dreaming of? Well, think it over. Then take off your shoes. Now, you can see how increased spending opportunities mean harder work for everyone, and more of it, too! So do your part today, Joe. Join with millions of your neighbors and turn in your shoes.

I’m not **BMooney252** , or someone like him, but you can get CD versions of all the vintage Firesign albums at [laugh.com](http://store.yahoo.com/laughstore/firtheatsket.html). They’ve recently reissued two great solo projects, too: Proctor & Bergman’s _TV or Not TV_ and Phil Austin’s _Roller Maidens from Outer Space_. I can’t recommend the latter highly enough–it’s right up there with the best and weirdest of Firesign.
