Haven’t seen the movie for ages, but I love Steve Martin. The Jerk was my favorite “...and this lamp. I just wanna keep this lamp...”
My wife and I love to use quotes from the movie to size up situations.
We were in a long line of people one day in the Seattle area waiting to watch a TV pilot to review it. Finally, I said to my wife, “You wanna wait around for an oven mitt?” in my best East LA accent. We left.
And when I listen to the “technically legitimate” complaints of liberals about Ryan (or any other conservatives) and know the liberals know the movie, my response includes the claim: “He’s not carnival personnel!!!”
