"In football, you get a penalty, in baseball, you make an error, whoops!"

" Objection." "The witness is not on trial here." "Now obviously what he said was too upsetting for her to repeat." "Objection." "Heresay." "Gentlemen, gentlemen."

"Here's another thing you hear at home, mostly guys say this," ""Hey, who stole my underwear!" "Somebody stole my underwear!"" ""Which one?"" ""This week's underwear."" "Do you ever look at the crowds in old movies and wonder if they're dead yet?" "I do." "I can't help it." "I do." "Have you ever tried to throw away an old wastebasket?" "You can't do it."

"They can't lie around, that's their job, man!" "As you know, they search you pretty well at the airport." "There'll be lots of places later they'll be searching us, but the airport is where they're kind of trying it out." "As you know, they search your bags, to make sure there's no weapons." ""Don't want any weapons on the plane!" "you know."" "They have the little fluoroscope job, and they run you through the model home, and," ""No weapons!" "Let 'em on!"" "You get on the plane, and you're clean!" "What do they do, they give you a knife and a fork, and all the wine you can drink, man." "I could take over a plane with a piece of looseleaf paper, right?"

"My first guest," "Mr. Martin Gresner from Long Island, New York." "Mr. Gresner, would you tell our audience just how you became a victim of shark bite?" "I'd be happy to, Phyllis." "Uh..." "I was swimming about fifty yards offshore from my summer home in Mattatuck, Long Island." "It was high tide, and, all of a sudden, I felt this sharp, piercing pain in my left shoulder." "I didn't know what it was at first, my left arm felt numb." "Well, my arm was gone." "Since then, I've had to learn to do everything with my right hand." "Just when did this incident take place?" "Oh, I'd say maybe..." "three, four months ago." "I've had, uh..." "I've learned how to shave with my right hand, and eat with one hand..." "Excuse me, Mr. Gresner, but it appears to me as though you do have a left arm there." "Nope!" "It's gone, see?" "Shark bit it off!" "Nothing there!" "No, Mr. Gresner, that's your sleeve." "You do have a left arm and it looks perfectly normal to me." " It does?" " Yes." "It was my leg!" "My leg!" "He bit my leg off, see?" "I have to hop around on one foot, I'm an invalid..."

"Well, we create God in our own image and likeness." "No question about that." "Every time I see a picture of God, He has knees and toenails, right?" "and a good example, a better example of our kind of self-centeredness, when it comes to God." "When we put a statue of" "Jesus on the dashboard, instead of having Him looking out and watching for traffic, which is what He should be doing," "we have Him watching us drive." ""Hey!" "Watch THIS, Jesus!" "Left turn!"" "You ever see a statue leap?" "Jumped right up into the baby shoes that time." "Don't worry, don't worry." "The universe is in balance, because Jesus has a statue of a middle-class American hypocrite on His dashboard." "It's alright." "Things work out well." "But, uh, we are so conceited about this God concept, that we, we'll go around describing Him to each other." "He's infinite, and we can never understand Him, but I'll describe him for 'ya!"" "Well, here's what it's like, first of all, first of all, uh, He knows everything." "He knows absolutely everything." "I don't even know what I'm talking about," "He knows what I mean."

"God and me are Arlene and Stanley."" "It's a little complicated, but we do kinda believe that." "And if God is like us, I think perhaps he might be subject to Physical Laws." "I mean, supernatural?" "But subject to Physical Laws, possibly." "It would explain a lot of things." "It would explain why He always has to send an angel as a messenger." "I mean, if He's God, why doesn't He show up?" ""Hey, I got a message for 'ya, here you go."" "He sends an angel." "And the angel always flies in over a mountain." "I mean, that implies that you're traversing over a phyical space." "So, possibly, uh, God is subject to Physical Laws." "People say, "Well, if God is so benevolent, how can He let people suffer?"" "He can't help, it lady!" "He's subject to Physical Laws!" "Maybe He's only a, uh, semi Supreme being." "Because He's like us, and we're not perfect." "I think God may not be perfect." "I think His work shows that." "Take a look at a mountain range." "They're all crooked, they're never in line." "All different sizes." "There are no two leaves that same." "He can't even give 2 people the same fingerprints!"

"Now, some religions, which are not to be confused with God." "Some religions will tell you that it's quite okay not to worry about your own life." "Religion has a way of relieving yourself of any responsibility for your acts." "It was God's will!" "It's God's will!" ""Oh, I ran over the kid in the driveway, yes, but don't look at me." "God's will!"" "Can't you see a lynch mob going," ""Let's get this guy, God!" "That's the 4th kid He's killed this week!"" "Religion, religion, at best, at BEST, is like a lift in your shoe." "If you need it for a while, and it makes you walk straight and feel better, fine." "But you don't need it forever, or you can become permanently disabled." "Religion is like a lift in the shoe, and I say just don't ask me to wear your shoes." "And let's not go down and nail lifts onto the natives' feet." "Thank you." "Once again, here's Billy Preston, with his new hit," ""Fancy Lady."" "Oh, honey!" ""Boeing Boeing" with Jerry Lewis is on in ten minutes." "Aw, sweetheart, I'm tired." "I think I'm just going to have another glass of diet root beer and go to bed, okay?" "What was that?" "!" "What's going on?" "!" "Hi, there!" "Please, do not be alarmed!" "This is only a simulated assault and burglery." "Repeat!" "This is a simulated assault and burglery!" "This could happen to you at any time, in fact, it just has!" "Honey, call the police!" "Do something!" "No, don't call the police." "I am the police!" "I might be, anyway." "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Kromer." "My name is Kenny Vorstrather, and I'm President of Trojan Horse Home Security." "I broke into your home tonight to show you just how vulnerable you and your family are to crime." "I sell a complete range of home and garden security devices." "You might say security is my life." "I'm fully qualified to make you feel secure." "I used to be an armored truck mechanic, in Leeber City, Arizona." "And, you, Mr. Kromer, have the perfect right to throw me out of your house." "If you think you can." "If I think I can?" "!" "You're a pretty hefty guy, Mr. Kromer I ask little lady get prefer" "Don't worry, folks, he won't hurt you!" "This is my assistant, he's Vice-President of Trojan Horse Security." "His name is Harvey, Harvey Morgomaster." "Harvey, like myself, is a security expert." "He worked in the Army as a camouflauge artist, painting the insides of payroll vaults." "Mr. and Mrs. Kromer, we offer a total security protection plan for your family and home." "For instance, the TPFLM System." "TPFLM?" "Tactically-Positioned Front Lawn Mine." "Or, how about these rec room search lights, color co-ordinated for fashionable surveillance." "And, for total protection in the bathroom," "Toilet Bowl Piranha." "It's a toothy surprise for the thief who craves relief, Mr. Kromer." "Wait a minute." "If we have our lawn mined, what do we need this stuff inside the house for?" "Okay, okay." "That's a very good question." "I'm going to ask you a question now." "In the event of a radioactive firestorm, how secure are your foodstuffs?" "Oh, we have a fridge." "Okay." "I'm going to ask you to help me in a small demonstration, a security technique." "If you could go into your kitchen right now, and get me a tomato." "Tomato?" "Yeah." "Just a common household tomato." "Green, red, I don't care." "Ripe, unripe." "Okay." "See how frightening that was?" "How effective that was in stopping you?" "Relax!" "Just blanks!" "Just a demonstration, sit down!" "Sit down." "Here, hang on to this chunk!" "Feels good, doesn't it?" "I want to talk you, Mrs. Kromer." "My briefcase please, Harvey." "Mrs. Kromer, say, a criminal entered your kitchen with intent to preparing illicit piece of toast." " Toast?" " Toast." "Only we offer the crisper crust self detonating fragmentation toaster." "Or there's handy 357 Magnum Mixmaster." "Comes in avocado green." "Yes, and harvest gold." "Here we have the sandwich sensitive hot plate laser." "Oh, that's very nice." "I'm gonna ask you a question, Mr. Kromer, and I want you to answer me quite honestly." "Would you want your wife to be sexually assaulted in her own kitchen?" "Oh, no." "Of course not." "Mrs. Kromer, would you want to be sexually assaulted in your own kitchen?" "It would depend on who the person..." "Look, Mr. Kromer, how... how much would you pay to keep your family safe?" "Would you pay, say, 2 million dollars, if you had it?" "If I had it, yeah." "Or, one million dollars?" "Sure." "If I had a million, yeah." "Have you got $499.99?" "Honey, we were saving that money!" "We were?" "You don't think you know how unsafe your family really is." "For instance, where's your son, uh..." " Ronnie." " Ronnie, right now?" "He's outside playing in the yard." "Well, Frank?" "Put the kid on, will ya?" "We'll take it!" "We'll take it!" "Okay, let the kid go." "I'm glad you decided." "Here, if you could sign right here, we'll have the contract drawn up..." "In the dawn of civilization, long before the Bronze Age, man first began his search for the close shave." "Since then, man has been ardently striding to design the perfect shaving instrument." "From the straight razor, to the safety razor, to the injector system, and finally the highly acclaimed twinblade cartridge." "Almost perfect, yet not quite the superlative groom." "Introducing the Triple-Trac." "Not just two blades in one system, but 3 stainless, platinum teflex-coated blades melded together to form one incredible shaving cartridge, easily fitted into your old twinblade holder." "Triple-Trac's triple-threat cartridge, with more close shaves than ever before." "Here's how it works." "The first blade grabs at the whisker, tugging it away from your face to protect it from the second blade." "Blade number two catches and digs into the stubble before it has the chance to snap back and injure you, pulling it farther out so that it is now ready for shearing." "Triple-Trac's third blade, a finely-honed bonded platinum instrument, cuts cleanly through the whisker at its base, leaving your face as smooth as a billiard ball." "The Triple-Trac." "Because you'll believe anything." "I don't know about you but I sure could listen to Janis Ian one more time." "Just wanna thank you all for having some live fun with us." "You at home and everybody here." "And wanna thank all the guests, of course." "Janis Ian, Billy Preston," "Albert Brooks, the Muppets," "Valri Bromfield, Andy Kaufman, the Not quite Ready for Prime Time Players and everyone who took part in this." "And I would not be sensible and sane if I didn't tell ya I got a brand new album this week." "I hope you'll see it." "Bye-bye."
