I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that over the years. Our family developed a tradition of watching it on Christmas Eve. Don’t know how it started, but it did. Saw it the first time in the Embassy theater in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, sometime in around 1981.

Believe or not, my wife can watch the whole thing beginning to end and not crack a smile but she can watch some of these stupid sitcoms and laugh all day long..... I told her there was something wrong with her. LOL!

I was in the airport once, and the bag handler guy said that quote to the guy next to him. Without thinking, I blurted out, “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.” He couldn’t believe I knew the line. My girlfriend asked what the hell that was about and I just laughed.

Anytime I start with any of that spiel, by wife just rolls her eyes with that "here we go again" look. I just keep on goin'.............

I hope “Clarence” gets his “Clearance.”
