Already posted (by me).

Instead, have **Fur**.

Robert Downey Jr was asked by a talk-show host why he made artistically questionable films like _Iron Man_. He turned to the audience and asked “How many people saw _Fur_?”. There were no hands. He said “That’s why.”

Actually, we need a “K” to pick up where we’re supposed to be. The “F” was a replacement.

:smack: I missed your post #402 and it wasn’t included in #404.

I saw the 1974 film in the theatre and could have sworn there was an exclamation point included, my answer can be omitted.
