20– Yes it was John and Marsha–OMG– thanks — it’s beens so long I forgot—how did you know that song?

Funny you should ask that…

Yesterday my lady and I literally spent the entire day watching Season 4 of Mad Men again (prepping for the season premiere), an episode of which featured Peggy and one of her younger colleagues doing the whole “John & Marsha” routine.

When I first saw the episode a couple of years ago, their routine immediately triggered memories of my parents entertaining back in the glory days of the mid-60′s. I was only a small boy back then, but that Stan Freberg song always brings to mind my mom’s wonderful beehive coif and white lipstick, and my dad’s magnificently kitschy canarble wagon.

Will you love me when my carburetor is busted –it went thru car parts like body parts–the other was Dick and Jane– all it was was the two of them saying each others names and ended with them saying their names in the throws of passion–

You’re actually thinking of Stan Freberg’s “John and Marsha.” :-)

A couple “dirty songs” our folks and friends played after sending us down the basement to play –but we would listen by the door– they’d laugh and sing along—one was called the Automobile Song–” Will you love me when my carburetor is busted –it went thru car parts like body parts–the other was Dick and Jane– all it was was the two of them saying each others names and ended with them saying their names in the throws of passion– we all tho’t they were nuts— what’s so funny about that??? We all knew the words and would sing them when we were all together and laugh — I’ll bet if I asked my cousins they’d know them to this day—- we compare those songs to todays—

On an old episode of M*A*S*H, Col,. Potter puts a call in to a general or something, and is pleasantly surprised when the general answers his own phone.

Col. Potter says,”The man answers his own phone. Must be a Unitarian.”

I saw that episode 36 years ago in 1976, and I STILL don’t get what the heck Unitarians have to do with answering their own phones.

Me. 19 year old Marine Aviation Cadet at NAS Saufley Field, Pensacola, FLA. Primary flight training in a Beechcraft T-34. Scenario: Friday night Happy Hour at the Cadet Club. Alcoholic drinks have yet to cross my virgin lips. Roommate banging on my ~~door~~ hatch, shouting, "She`s pasting her skivvies to the bulkhead!" Tired, I hit the rack. Next morning roommate is interrogating why I did not come down to the Cadet Club. My reply causes roommate to fall on the ~~floor~~ deck, in a fetal position, laughing his ass off! I said, "Why would I want to see a girl whose underwear would stick to a ~~wall~~ bulkhead?" See, I took him literally... What he meant was some girl had spotted me in my Dress Whites earlier and wanted to chat. {...Farm boy meets the outside world...}

Buddhist monk walks up to a hot dog vendor and says “Make me one with everything.”

First heard it on the Robin Williams HBO special in about 2002. Didn’t get it for a couple of years.

“Your eyes are bigger than your stomach”.
When I was a kid, I used to look at the all the adults sitting around the table after my Dad said this and try to squint my eyes so’s their stomachs would look smaller than their eyes. But it never did work out.

I had a Nissan Maxima once that would answer Missy’s riddle – When is a door not a door?

Car’s electronic voice would say “Door is ajar”

As cool as that talking car shit was when it came out, it got old really fast.
