I believe it was the Bank of Montreal that had an ad running saying "Can a
bank change?". The satirical show This Hour has 22 Minutes had a comeback:
"Can a bank change? Hell, we don't even MAKE change!"

Yes, but he was role-playing at the time, and Monica was dressed up like
Milosevic.

I read a little bit about him. He pulled in so much money that he made
Howard Hughes look like a bum in the street.

You mean as having food delivered? HA! I'd *love* to see a pizza
delivery guy try to get his extra large Veggie Feast past the metal
detector/security station. Hell, I'd pass out takeout menus to jurors
myself just to watch the deputy sheriffs try to screen a bunch of
delivery guys bringing in pizza, chinese, Thai, etc.

And did I mention that LA Superior is kitty-corner to the Disney
Concert Hall? Disney ain't gonna let no stinkin' fast food joint
clutter up *their* neighborhood. Bad enough they have a butt ugly
courthouse across the street.

his show was a trip. sometimes he would stop talking and say 'you people
aren't calling in with pledges. i'm not talking until you do.' then he'd
sit and smoke his cigar while the band vamped in the background.
