I was reminded of this quote from Abe Simpson earlier today. Thought I’d share the love.
“We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ’em stories that don’t go anywhere…like the time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new
heel for my shoe, so I decided to go over to Morganville, which was what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where was I? Oh yeah…the
important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt…which was the style at the time. You couldn’t get any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could
get was those big yellow ones… ”
