Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

The Dr. Strangelove premiere was originally set for Nov 22,1963. It was slipped to January 1964 following the JFK assassination in Dallas. It’s believed that the line was changed from Dallas to Vegas as well. And yes, you have to say it in your best Slim Pickens voice, to do otherwise is blasphemy.
Define “ICBM”.
Either “Intercontinental Ballistic Missile” , OR…….
In the Spider Robinson “Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon” stories, there’s a joke about airplanes, airplane toilets, blue septic tank fluid, and leaking airplane septic tanks while in flight. The punch line is “Icy BMs” (bowel movements).
I’d prefer to strap Grahamnasty to that second ICBM.

You forgot the megaton of peanuts that bombarded the Raconteur (Doc Webster?) in retaliation!

Ghram would only be ridi NG with his own kind.
Thanksgiving is approaching. We could attach him to one of Sam’s main courses. A turkey on a turkey. Might even come down in Turkey.
