  3. “I give up, Ted — what’s black & red and charred all over?”

  4. “Boy” “BOMB!” “Girl” “BOMB!” “Airport” “BOMB!” “Okay, that’s enough word association.”

  5. “Look, Ted — I’m no lawyer, but I’ve got doubts about your ‘Prairie Oyster’ defense.”

  7. “Would you *please* stop making that ticking noise?!”

  8. “Actually, Ted, I’d prefer you *fax* me your manifesto.”

  9. “Why don’t you and I run away together? I know a great little unheated cottage in the middle of nowhere!”

  10. “You read the entire manifesto? Geez, and they think *I’m* crazy!”

  11. “Now tell me again, Ted — which one is Itchy?”

  12. “I *must* be insane — to sell name-brand VCR’s and televisions at such low prices!!! This Friday only, at Krazy Ted’s Electronics Outlet!!!”

  13. “Man, that OJ is a nut, isn’t he?”
