“People are different there—They’re real!”
– Tell me you’re not from LA without telling me you’re not from LA
– “Well I suppose Inflatible Sex Dolls are in a sense “real”, so yeah…”
– Rip wanted to tell her she had misheard him and what he had said was, “Hey! You look like a monkey!” But with her being all spunky and belligerent, the moment just felt too awkward.

How can you tell this comic is from the 50s?
None of the other passengers have their cell phones out to record a confrontation between strangers they will never see again.

On a more serious note, I’d like to point out that today, February 10th, is the anniversary of the death of Arnold Fitz Thedmar, the famous 13th century chronicler of London mayors and sheriffs.
If you’re like me, the abscence of a reliable record of long dead local British mid-level leadership has left a gaping hole in your life. A hole that you’ve desperatly tried to fill with sex, drugs, and snarky comments on the Last Kiss comments section. But there is only so much emptiness sex and drugs and snark ‘n roll can fill.
So join me in celebrating February 11th as Arnold Fitz Thedmar Day. Go out and chronicle your local politician, though not in such a way that it puts you on an FBI watchlist.
Happy Arnold Fitz Thedmar Day to All of You! And God Bless Us, Everyone.
