From the same movie -- one of my favorites -- the scene when John Candy is trying to remove his jacket while driving in a snow storm.
"Did your parents have any children that lived?" "SIR,YES SIR!!" "I'll bet they regret that!" "You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece."
This scene is only funny if you know someone who was a Senior NCO in any branch of service. I did and it's funny. Not suitable for little old ladies or prudes. You've been notified.
If you're around my age you remember these guys. Used to be on Ch. 11 out of NYC at 1500. Officer Joe Bolton was the host.
If you were ever in the military you love this type of humor. Nothing like a Command Sergeant Major's ability to bring you back to reality.
I first saw ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW in Santa Cruz California with the first wave of Punk Rocker students freaking out old hippie academia types who found permanent sanctuary from the real world in 'teaching.' It was like watching shaggy grey musk oxen forming a circle against a white wolf pack. RHPS was the most outrageous experience in the arts of my life. I still freak out my younger relatives being able to sing the songs and know the audience traditions. Years later, working the graveyard shift duplicating porn VHS tapes ( an experience that forever jaded me to any porn) with Jose Menendez as boss; a temp produced a japanese subtitled copy from an uncle in the USAF. We bootlegged a few hundred copies and walked them out past the sleeping insecure security guard ( left his pocket Beretta loaded on the desk. I cleared it and removed the firing pin.) I finally got to see and hear everything and made a small fortune selling copies at midnight showing years before it became available. Curry's elevator scene singing sweet transvestite still leaves my mother confused.
