- “Look, Ted — I’m no lawyer, but I’ve got doubts about your ‘Prairie Oyster’ defense.”
- “That ink blot looks like the oppressive technocratic regime attempting to enslave our free minds… or maybe a bunny rabbit.”
- “Would you *please* stop making that ticking noise?!”
- “Actually, Ted, I’d prefer you *fax* me your manifesto.”
- “Why don’t you and I run away together? I know a great little unheated cottage in the middle of nowhere!”
- “You read the entire manifesto? Geez, and they think *I’m* crazy!”
- “Now tell me again, Ted — which one is Itchy?”
- “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!!!”
