...or a brooch...or a pterodactyl!"<br><br>Five points for the movie this line is from...<br><br>Five more for the character,<br><br>and <br><br>Bonus five for the actor who played him! <p></p><i></i>

That sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield line. <br><br>Caddyshack? <p></p><i></i>

Here's a hint:<br><br>He said it in response to a line by the same character who said "I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!"<br><br>NO fair cheating by checking IMDb, btw. <br><br>My favorite Rodney Dangerfield line from "Caddyshack"--when he looks at the stupid rich kid, then out at the camera and says "Now I know why tigers eat their young."<br><br>Next favorite: "My wife likes to talk during sex. Last night she called me from the Holiday Inn."<br><br>Ba da bum.<br><br>We really do need a humor thread around here, people get so serious, you'd think we were talking about the End of the World As We Know It, or something. <p></p><i></i>

"It's a big pretty white plane with a red stripe, curtains at the windows, wheels, and it looks just like a big Tylenol!" <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=albion@rigorousintuition>albion</A> at: 10/13/05 10:14 pm<br></i>

hahaha! thanks for the levity. Too much deviltry. We need more levity.<br><br>On another note: Here's something I really don'tknow what to make of:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4340318.stm">news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4340318.stm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>The CIA is creating a new agency called the "National Clandestine Service," headed by a guy known only as "Jose." How the hell can this be? We're really in la-la land now.<br><br>Also, there's a new technology unveiled in Germany that will allow moving pictures on a magazine. My my. Future is now! I'm afraid to go to sleep, for fear that I'll wake up in an even stranger universe. Jane, stop this crazy thing! <p></p><i></i>

Airplane, of course! Brilliant film! I can't remember the character's name though. <p></p><i></i>

Yes, it was "Airplane"--the character's name was Johnny, and the actor Steven Stucker, who sadly passed away about ten years ago from AIDS.<br><br>Don't you think when you call something "The National Clandestine Service", it kind of gives it all away the minute you pass out your business card? (Reminds me of my favorite T shirt--had "Property of the FBI Witness Protection Program" on the pocket.)<br><br>"Hi! I'm from the National Clandestine Service, here's my card!"<br><br>"Er...doesn't 'clandestine' mean secret?"<br><br>"Yes indeed."<br><br>"But you're just talking to me right out in the open!"<br><br>"Correct, but note that my name is Jose."<br><br>"Jose what?"<br><br>"That's the secret part."<br><br>"OK. But what about your phone number, it's right on here!"<br><br>"Correct, but that's not my real phone."<br><br>"So if I call it..."<br><br>"We've got the line tapped, we get your number and call you back."<br><br>"Sneaky! But if you call me back, can't I do * 69?"<br><br>"No. Our number is blocked."<br><br>"You guys think of everything, Jose. So what did you want to talk to me about?"<br><br>"I can't tell you. That's a secret."<br><br>"OK."<br><br>Long silence ensues.<br><br>Then Jose says "I'm sorry, sir, you'll have to come with me."<br><br>"Why?"<br><br>"I can't tell you. It's a secret."<br><br>"But I didn't even SAY anything!"<br><br>"Correct. But I found the way you didn't say it suspicious. Please sir, don't make a scene."<br><br>"Can I call my lawyer?"<br><br>"You're a funny little man, aren't you?"<br><br>We really have gone through the looking glass, and unfortunately what's on the other side may be Gitmo, or some foreign country where they'll torture the daylights out of us before they find out that "Jose" got the wrong person. Then since they can't let us go they'll have to kill us, so we might as well have been the right person.<br><br>Catch 22 squared.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

"Surely you jest..."<br><br>"No, I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley."<br><br>(My favorite line from Airplane.) --MaryK <p></p><i></i>

Lloyd Bridges' character: Now your husband and the others are alive, but unconscious.<br><br>Johnny: Just like Gerald Ford! <br><br>Or George Bush!
