I think one of them was
..a kid walks into the living room, his uncle sleeping on the couch, and the kid jumps up on the sleeping uncle & shouts "I want my Maypo!"

(53,339 posts)I'd been nearly killed in Vietnam and had a lot of money piled up in the Army's 'Soldier's Deposit' program at 10% interest so I bought the car while I was still in the hospital for $6,100 cash. After my war experience I didn't expect to live very long so I figured, "What the hell?"

Finally sold it when European agents were coming here to find classic cars to ship back. Got more than I paid for it, declared it, and paid taxes on the gain.
You'd wreck that car? I wrecked the Jag on the Presidio 2 months after I got it. Cost me $2,000 for a new bonnet.

(54,436 posts)Pepto Bismol
From my maternal grandfather (true story!). He was a Madison Avenue ad man back in the 1940s and 1950s.
He was also responsible for the Smirnoff Vodka ads with the slogan, "It leaves you breathless."
"Dual Filter Tareyton" cigarettes, too, although they were with another agency by the time they
were saying "I'd rather fight than switch."
His wit didn't stop at ads, either. One day while LBJ was president (war on poverty/population explosion days),
our family was driving in downtown Washington, DC, and he suddenly came out with "I'm going to start the
War on Puberty to stop the Copulation Explosion." He was about 70 at the time. My mom was driving, and she
almost crashed the car into the FBI building she was laughing so hard.
At age 80, he took up painting as a hobby, and one of his first works was the board meeting of some nameless
corporation where the board members were sitting around a rectangular table and the chairman was ranting at
the head of the table. Instead of human heads, they all had blocks. He called it the Blockheads, in honor of
Charlie Brown from Peanuts:
[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]
He kept his wit to the very end, too. When he was 99 years old, he sent out a Christmas card with a photo of himself,
looking very much his age, with the caption: "Compliments Of The Seasoned."

(17,238 posts)Two of the brothers question each other about the cereal, prodding each other to try it, and noting that it is supposed to be healthy. Neither wants to try it ("I'm not gonna try ityou try it!" , so they get their brother Mikey to try it ("Let's get Mikey" , noting, "he hates everything." Mikey briefly stares at the bowl. After moments of contemplation, Mikey begins to vigorously consume the cereal before him, resulting in his brothers excitedly exclaiming, "He likes it! Hey, Mikey!"
