Fans discuss what Frank says in a Korean War flashback about a soldier's medical condition, debating whether the punchline word is "cutlet" or "Cutlass."

When Frank is remembering the Korean War, he says about one of the soldiers that ate his food, "he had a crater in his colon the size of a _________." I can't make out what he said. Can someone please help me?

On further thought, maybe it was "the size of a Cutlass" (large car)

Thank you, but my TV doesn't have closed captioning.

Does that really make sense? Cutlet? Sometimes the captions are wrong. I think that "Cutlass" makes a funnier joke anyway.

As opposed to the typical comparisons to fruit... "a tumor the size of a grapefruit", etc.
