Default Wow. Here's an honor I never expected

I never thought I'd have a gun named for me. But now it's happened, and the gun's a real sweetie too! Garry, all I can say is thank you...

By the way: How many MFA's does it take to screw in a light bulb...?

Okay. I’ll bite — how many? (Hey, I’ve been working in the dark for many years.)

I don't know; I was hoping you'd tell me! How about: we don't know; none of them has ever done any manual labor.

Three? One to hold the bulb and two to turn the chair?

Well, Stan, you obviously don't know those among the ranks of the MFA. I think you may have overestimated our ability.

1) One; to call Maintenance.
2) None; they didn't notice it was out.

What's the difference between a pregnant woman and a light bulb ? You can unscrew a light bulb.

Geeze Phil. I'm starting to feel like I should name one of my guns after you if it means that much to you. Does it have to be a Parker?

Daryl, I humbly accept any and all honors conferred upon me, whether I'm worthy of them or not, and am grateful for them, so name away. And I do not discriminate, so a nice...Fox? with a Phil-related nom de plume would be welcomed .
