Favorite Newhart routine: he is on the phone with a department store after
observing a woman hanging out of a window of a department store.  He is
asked ridiculous questions by the operator.  After learning that the floor
the lady was hanging out of was the lingerie department, he angrily replied
"How do I know how she got out there?"  pause  "Maybe she tried on something
and snapped out!"
