Your Boston Cop bit reminded me of the interaction between Noah and his neighbor in Cosby’s comedy routine.
“Hey up there.”
N: Yeah.
“What is that?”
N: It’s an ark.
“Uh-huh. What’s it for?”
N: I can’t tell you. Ha, ha ,ha, ha.
Can’t you give me a little hint?
N: You want a hint? Okay. How long can you tread water? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Right. Look, uh, you wanna get it outta my driveway? I gotta get to work.
Yeah, yet another double parking job that day.
*snicker*
Didn’t last long though.
