Doctor, question that’s always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact.

Do you know which of the oceans is the widest?

**Eric:**  
The Poisoned Sea.

No. The ocean between a Christian and a heathen.

**Eric:**  
[takes her hand] Our hands can reach across it as easily as that.

Let’s start with… Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? Meteorological: everybody take cover, she’s going to blow! Fashionable: you know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger, like… _Wyoming._ Personal: well, here we are, just the three of us. Punctual: all right, Delbman, your nose was on time but _you_ were fifteen minutes late! Envious: Ooooh, I wish I were you! Gosh, to be able to smell your own ear! Naughty: uh, pardon me, sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn’t mind putting that thing away. Philosophical: you know, it’s not the size of a nose that’s important, it’s what’s _in it_ that matters. Humorous: laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze, and it’s _goodbye, Seattle!_ Commercial: hi, I’m Earl Scheib, and I can paint that nose for $39.95! Polite: uh, would you mind not bobbing your head? The, uh, orchestra keeps changing tempo.

The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it’s time to go shopping for a saddle.

There were trolleys, Tonto. Cobblestones. The aroma of corned beef and cabbage. The tangy zest of… apple strudel. You had to hand-crank the cars in those days, Tonto. Cars like REO’s, Franklins, Hudsons. Those were names fit for a car. These days a man doesn’t know whether he’s driving a car or an animal: “Mustangs,” “Jaguars,” “Cougars,”… “Pintos.” - Silly.

Right! Stop that! It’s silly! Very silly indeed! Started off as a nice little idea about old ladies attacking young men, but now it’s just got silly! His hair’s too long for a vicar, too, and you can tell those are not proper “Keep-left” signs! CLEAR OUT, THE LOT OF YOU!
