Nelson Expert Film Handler Posts: 138 From: Brentwood, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 04-11-2006 01:16 PM                     Just kind of wondering.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 04-11-2006 04:14 PM                        If one hand claps and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound and, if so, what does it sound like?  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-11-2006 05:01 PM                     Don't bogart your stash... pass it around!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-11-2006 05:09 PM                  L.A. Firefighters normally work 24hrs on duty then 24hrs off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 96 off....then that schedule repeats. Since they "live" in the station, they do watch DVDs on their on-duty free time. Many times when the movie starts, someone will yell out "MOVIE" to let others know that the movie is starting. AFAIK, no one has been arrested so far. Hope that helps, Don.

He's talking about how screwed up society is and says something like, "I've started asking myself questions, ethical questions, like 'Is it OK to yell movie in a crowded firehouse?' or religious questions, like 'Does the pope shit in the woods?'" The whole routine is on his first and only comedy album, which is criminally out of print.  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 04-11-2006 05:48 PM                        quote: Miss Martha!

That's the one I was thinking of, Cory.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-11-2006 06:01 PM                     "Have you ever gotten any rest in a rest room?" "Why do we drive on park ways, and park in drive ways?" Couldn't help adding a couple of my favorit Gallagher (if I remember correctly) goodies. Come to think of it, the sledge-a-matic could be a usefull tool in the booth.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-11-2006 07:31 PM                        Why do they call 'em buildings when they're already done building 'em? Oughta call'em "builts." (Or "crumblings.") Do you have to brush your teeth during a fast? And why do they call it a fast when it goes so damn slow? If your knees bent the other way, what would a chair look like? ...and my favorite Gallagher line: Wherever you leak, the world hangs a bucket.  |  IP: Logged
