Their show was a classic and I spent many an hour howling over their schtick...... even if they did steal that law firm thing(Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe) from the Marx Brothers. They did do a trivia question once that I actually guessed(but never sent in anything official). The question was "A man has a VW Bus that won't climb up his driveway due to slick ice and snow conditions. He opens up the hood in the back and makes one adjustment and returns to the driver's seat and now the vehicle makes it up the driveway....what did he do in the engine compartment?
The answer is classic, but then most of us have tried it a time or two...... DM&FS |
