In the otherwise forgettable movie The Fearless Vampire Killers a vampire is threatening a woman who whips out a crucifix. The vampire says, “That doesn’t bother me, I’m Jewish.”
In ancient days, the mother of an old friend was a secretary in London. Being the senior secretary of a senior manager, she got the first electric typewriter bought by the company. A great big thing, apparently, capable of taking full width legal paper.
Her desk – being that she was senior – was next to a nice openable window. On the fifth or sixth floor. The monster was installed (imagine a day when typewriters needed to be installed) and she sat down to test it; clickey-clackety-clickety-carriagereturn – wheee! Out the window goes the large heavy carriage. They forgot the doohickey that limited the travel.

Took me a moment on the Kermit one, then I almost snorted coffee on my keyboard.
I saw the thing on Snooki’s due date somewhere a couple of days ago. Someone pointed out that according to that, she’s not even pregnant yet.
