This thread reminds me of the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones......

Morganville? That takes me back. Its been Shelbyville since nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say dickety because the Kaiser had stolen our word twenty. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.

That's what you said last time. And the time before that.

The time before that though was the Bills fault for signing what's his name? Lawyer Molloy?

Nineteen-dickety-two? That brings me back to the time the meteors came and we thought the sky was one fire. Naturally, we blamed the Irish. We hanged more than a few...

Tremendous. I often forget that there was a time when The Simpsons was good.
