 > An exerpt from the Modern Cinema interview with legendary filmmaker Yojimbo Harikura
MC : Everyone of your films - even ones set it ancient times - ends abruptly with the destruction of the Earth in a nuclear holocaust. Why?
YH : It saves film. We use the same piece of film
MC : Yes, but I mean is there a message you're trying to convey?
YH : I have trouble with endings
MC : Aren't you afraid people will stop attending your films?
YH : No, I am only afraid that my supply of Skittles will run out. What if they stop making them?
MC : I don't know. You probably don't have to worry about that.
YH : Why? Have you heard something?
MC : Thank you for your time, sir
YH :You would tell me, wouldn't you?
At this point, the Earth was destroyed in a fiery apocalypse

> In 1974, I invented the "running put" in golf, whereby the golfer runs with the putter, pushing the ball along and into the hole.

> Bob and Fuzzy were as close as man & hamster could be (they had even made an "Eternity" ad together). Although Fuzzy was well, Bob took him for a checkup. The vet said, "He's fine for his age". "But he's only three", said Bob, "what's his normal lifespan?". "Three", said the doc. "What can I do", pleaded Bob, "can I donate a kidney?"."No, Bob, he doesn't need a kidney, and anyway, your kidney is bigger than he is". In shock, Bob took Fuzzy on a whirlwind world tour - Disney world, Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Everest, and finally, the Vatican.

 HISTORY   

 > Recently declassified documents reveal that the respective armies' choices of snack foods for D-Day were crucial to the battle's outcome.

  
 Allies
03:00 - M&M's ; Melts in mouth, not in hand
12:33 - Bananas; Eat fruit, throw peel
23:17 - Life Savers; Long lasting flavor, subliminal hint of
invulnerability		  Germans
03:44 - Little bags of nuts. Machine-gunners are overrun while struggling with the stubborn foil packets
14:27 - Knockwurst in a blanket; Gas masks required
23:24 - Candy apples; Sticky, unwieldy, bright red targets. The party's over, Adolph		  2
>The invading Normans were met by the invading Bobs
> What the plaque left on the moon really says is, "We came and pissed for all mankind"
> Re: statues of famous soldiers on horseback: If the horse has all four feet off the ground, it means that the rider hid until the battle was over, pretended to be insane, then requested asylum in Switzerland
> When Fidel Castro was on Wheel of Fortune (during "Dictators" week), he ruined it for everyone by guessing "blood-sucking yankee bastards" for every puzzle. What's worse, he was the big winner when the bonus-round puzzle turned out to be "blood-sucking yankee bastards". He donated the money to the People's Revolutionary Front, but he kept the car ( a Dodge mini-van))
> Who can forget the time that pioneer atonal composer Arnold Schoenberg and American great Aaron Copeland appeared together on "The Merv Griffin Show" wearing the exact same green leisure suit. As if that weren't bad enough, when they attempted to do a two-piano version of Schoenberg's "Transfigured Night" from memory, it fell apart badly after only a few measures. Copeland kept yelling "what key?", and Schoenberg would shout back "it's atonal, idiot!". The whole affair degenerated into tumbling brawl with the two maestros tearing at each other's leisure suits. They didn't speak until 10 years later, during a tearful reunion at a Friars' Club Roast, (during which the whole horrible episode happened again!)
> Excerpt from the famous Nixon - Kennedy debate; "You don't have to yell" "I wasn't yelling" "You were TOO" "I WAS NOT"
