these were the days, when you could find ads for gunpowder in the back of a magazine

there’s a part in the movie Charley Varrick (1973) where they make the hero SIGN for his TNT at the hardware store and he and the clerk chuckle over how ridiculous it is that we just don’t trust people anymore as a society

"Er, ah, so, sorry to disappoint all you wonderful people, but in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, I, ah, won't be writing OR performing any jokes today."

"WHEN DID YOU START??"

DOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!
