You know, when I read that passage, I mentally hear a five playing in the background, as one would when Oliver gave his speeches about the American farmer on Green Acres.
Bet it’s not as funny as the “That’s a fife!” scene in Crocodile Dundee.

I never quite understood it when someone got called a nerf on “Happy Days.”
