If the tests are positive I might be tempted to try it. I've quit smoking,
lost 50 pounds, had a stent put in a renal artery and take 4 different blood
pressure pills; three of them twice a day.
My blood pressure is still in the high 160's to 170's over 80 something and
I feel awful most of the time.

Re Young Frankenstein, the line I always think of is "Put....ze
candle....beck"..

Nancy

"Don't go, I was going to make espresso!"

and...

Every time anyone mentioned Frau Breuer the horses whinnied.

In Mel Brooks' classic film parody Young Frankenstein (1974), Cloris Leachman plays the character of Frau Blucher. If you've seen this great film, you know that every time someone utters the words "Frau Blucher" the whinnying of horses can be heard. Somehow an explanation for this running gag arose, which claimed that the hidden reason for the horses' reaction was that Frau Blucher's name sounds like the German word for glue, implying that the horses fear ending up in a glue factory.

But if you bother to look up the word "glue" in German, you won't find any word that is even close to "Blucher" or "Blücher." Do the words der Klebstoff or der Leim sound even remotely similar?


and..

"Walk this way" (dragging one foot)

and so many other great lines come to mind.


That film is packed with memorable lines.

What about, "he vould have an enormous swanshtuker"


Yes! that was priceless!
Omigosh Peter and I use the punch lines all the time with one another!
