FS--REDUCED to Free + Postage

Allright, you outlasted me:

Genuine U-Bild plans for a generic corner cab, 47" tall by 29" deep, that
will take a 27" TV. Never used, read with one eye only, in original
resealable plastic bag. Retail $9.95, take it for free plus postage.

No, although it was Peter Sellers (as President of USA) the funniest
line ever in a film was:

"There will be no fighting in the War Room"

in Dr. Strangelove. That film had a lot of great lines tho.

Just on TCM the other night - my wife: "Your not going to watch
that again are you?"

I did.

Love that movie (and most Peter Sellers' stuff).

That was Peter Sellers but it was Dr. Strangelove. Great movie.

New entry in a poker game asks W. C. Fields, "Is this a game of chance?"
Fields, "Not the way I play it, no."

Sorry but the funniest exchange ever in any movie was in "The Pink Panther"

Actually there are two tied for the funniest...

Clouseau asks the county dweller "your dog, does he bite...?"

man replies, "no"

whereupon Clouseau attempts to pet the dog at the man's feet, the dog then
bites Clouseau on the hand...

Clouseau exclaims, "I thought you said your dog did not bite !!..."

the man replies, "zat is not my dog..."


Earlier or possibly later, it's been a while, in the same film, Clouseau
manages to completely destroy a Steinway piano, the owner of which tells
him,

"monseiur, that is a priceless Steinway...!!!!!"

Clouseau replies, "not anymore..."



Funniest lines ever uttered in a motion picture...

Not that it matters much, but the Steinway scene is from "A Shot in the Dark",
the second of the Clouseau films. And does _not_ involve "Sir Charles Panther,
the infamous Lytton".

Works for me. I think I have your address, but let's not bet. Email it and I'll
mail a check today or tomorrow.

It's an amount of money used to mail something, attached to the package
in the form of stamps. But that's not important right now...

Possibly the best exchange in a movie that, IMHO, is one of the funniest
ever made, is the one between Kareem (Roger Murdock)and Billy.
