"Can't you see she's pooped?!"
Thanks for the fun flashback.
How about:
" We have to protect our phoney-baloney jobs" Harumph,harumph,harumph....
"What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-goin' on here?"

I was in college then, it was Feb.1974 when Blazing Saddles came to the theaters in the Northeast. First gas crisis, freezing temps.,staying in long gas lines, a very depressing time.
Seeing it in the theater, with the audience in stitches from start to finish, was very therapeutic. Mel Brooks managed to offend everybody, but everybody got the joke.
