Scraping the Proverbial Bong

I'm sitting here watching the 'That's My Bush' marathon on
Comedy Central. It's a shame this show didn't last, but I
don't think the American people want a show that mocks
their fearless leader. Trey and Matt are brilliant, but
this show lacks the laugh-ability of South Park, despite
the great sitcom parody and the hilarious puppets.

"Baudelaire was driving a Model-A across Galilee, when he
picked up a hitch-hiker named Jesus, who was standing
among a school of fish feeding them pieces of bread.
'Where're you going?' asked Jesus.
'Anywhere! Anywhere! Out of this World!" shouted
Baudelaire.
'I'll go with you as far as Golgotha,' said Jesus, 'I
have a concession at the carnival there, and I mustn't be
late.'"
-- from the Firesign Theatre's 'Dear Friends'

Here's some more Firesign for ya:

"I stumbled into the Last Chant Saloon. There was a passle
of Theosophists at the other end of the bar raising the
Devil. Had him about 10 feet off the floor, they did. And
I could tell by the red clay on his hooves and his black
aura that he was up to no good. So I said to
him, "Sambaku, there ain't enough room in this life-cycle
for the both of us!" Well that little rascal up and
challenged me to a game of ten-card tarot, pentacles wild.
I seen him deal a High Priestess from the bottom of the
deck and---"
-- from 'Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him'

One more from 'Don't Crush that Dwarf':

"Yes, uh, two postmen times three animal control officers
divided by two gas-meter readers makes how many bendable,
integrated community workers? Decode your answer now. Did
you remember to carry the bum? Goood!"

Okay, more than enough quotes... I don't even think anyone
reads this... leave me feedback if you do.
