> The song Kyrie Eleison (it's Latin, folks) by Mr. Mr. contains > a phrase that goes "Carry a laser down the road..." I think this is better done as an Emily Litella sketch. Remember to render the Emily role in a high, frail voice, with a hesitant rhythm, warming up as you go to an emotional tyrade just before being interrupted, starting out about like What's(beat)all(beat)this(beat)I(beat)hear(beat)(beat)about... and ending up like Idon'tcareifit*could*(beat)beused... With that in mind, let's join our newscast, already in progress: Jane: And now, with a viewer comment, Miss Emily Litella. Emily: What's all this I hear about Mr. Mister telling teenagers to cary ray-guns? I think it's disgraceful! Doesn't he know that lasers are dangerous? I bet it's some sneaky way around some firearms law, and I'm not going to stand for it! "Cary a laser in the darkness of the night" indeed! I don't care if it *could* be used as a flashlight in the dark, it still... Jane: Emily... Emily: seems to me... Jane: Emily! Emily: What? What? Jane: That's "Kyrie Eleison." Not "Cary a Laser". "Kyrie Eleison". It's Latin. It means "Lord have mercy". Emily: Oh... That's different. Never mind! -- Wayne Throop at Data General, RTP, NC <the-known-world>!mcnc!rti-sel!dg_rtp!throopw

I true Emily Litella style this should have been : Emily: Oh! That's all right then, nerermind And then a slight pause while the camera turns back to Jane afterwhich is heard just off camera Bitch. |-) _____________________________________________________________________________ Michael Fletcher ins_amwf@jhunix Johns Hopkins Univ. ^ note the 's' (shizophrenic) ----I'm only doing this 'cause they won't tell me how to turn the thing off-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did you want me to do, misquote Jane? (1) Or maybe I should have added footnotes. How silly, footnotes in a posting to net.jokes! (2) -- (1) (In case you can't tell, :-) (2) "It's a joke son! I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em! (Nice boy, but the fast ones just go over his head.)" (3) (3) Foghorn Leghorn, of course (4) (4) Possibly misquoted from memory... it wasn't near a photograph. -- Wayne Throop at Data General, RTP, NC <the-known-world>!mcnc!rti-sel!dg_rtp!throopw
