Sounds like he watched the original SNL. I remember Gilda as Emily Litella doing a piece on Presidential Erections, how we don't need to know this "stuff," that it should be kept personal (little did she know what was to come a few years on). Chevy promptly jumped in, "Ah, Emily.... they were talking about Presidential Elections." Emily.... "Well, that's different then. Never mind."
or wondering what was the big deal about Russian jewelry (Jewry)
oh, never mind
