Does anyone have the address for the Prussian consulate in Siam? I need to meet the 4:00 pm autogyro in order to send a Joe Dimaggio baseball card. Apparently the are letting "ethics" into the Major Leagues. :)
A Question.

This book must be out of date: I don't see "Prussia", "Siam", or "autogyro".
I was making fun of Homer Simpson's boss at the nuclear power plant; Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns is one of the oldest men on earth. Prussia is now Germany, Siam is now Thailand, and the autogyro is the ancestor of the helicopter. "Ethics" is a term from the early 20th century describing immigrants to America from Ireland, Italy and eastern Europe. Mr. Burns is so old he doesn't know the modern terms. He makes lots of other out-dated statements that show how old he really is. Whenever he does this I cannot stop laughing. Fans of the Simpsons tv show get the joke.

Umm, Benjamin's reply is the reply given to Burns by the Squeeky Voiced Teen.
Ireland,
No, "ethics" is a noun meaning a set of professional moral standards. You mean "ethnics" (cf http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115951/). I suspect you need more practice working your computer machine.
Hey, you guys know quotes from that TV show! Somebody ought to write a book.
Hey, you know how to write! YOU can do it! Do it, I command you!

In fact, someone should write THREE books, several years apart, then re-sell the same books to die-hard fans by boxing them together!

HAHAHA. Man, you missed the joke he made, didn't you.
I remembered what Mr. Burns said but totally forgot the reply from the guy behind the desk. I typed "ethics" instead of "ethnics" by mistake.
BLKSUPERMN raved thus:
Reach in the glove box and pass me my brain medicine.
