¶¶¶
2
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:35,367
We got the very latest
in Twenty First Century,
3
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:38,103
ultra-contemporary,
high tech,
4
00:00:38,105 --> 00:00:42,307
state-of-the-art, wireless
internet access.
5
00:00:42,309 --> 00:00:45,177
The Hand-held Wanderer.
6
00:00:45,179 --> 00:00:48,781
You can get absolutely
anything that exists in the
7
00:00:48,783 --> 00:00:50,382
world on the internet.
8
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:52,785
Now, [clear throat] just
tell me what you want here.
9
00:00:52,787 --> 00:00:54,720
A piano?
10
00:00:54,955 --> 00:00:56,255
You can't play the piano.
11
00:00:56,257 --> 00:00:57,489
You got no hands.
12
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:59,358
Maybe that's why I
can't play too good.
13
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,193
Hm, now, pick
something else.
14
00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:03,095
We'll be back
with more adventures in
15
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:07,032
cyber space after
this next Freaky Story.
16
00:01:08,903 --> 00:01:10,386
This is a true story.
17
00:01:10,387 --> 00:01:11,870
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
18
00:01:11,872 --> 00:01:13,105
Wally Willis.
19
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:14,440
He was an accountant, like me.
20
00:01:14,442 --> 00:01:16,408
Well, maybe not exactly like me.
21
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:19,144
You see, Wally was a full-blown numbers freak.
22
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:21,814
He once made his entire staff work a whole holiday
23
00:01:21,816 --> 00:01:23,482
weekend, because one account ledger was short
24
00:01:23,484 --> 00:01:25,050
by one cent.
25
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:26,985
Cost him six thousand dollars in overtime
26
00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:29,171
to find that penny.
27
00:01:29,172 --> 00:01:31,356
So you can imagine Wally's reaction when he came to our
28
00:01:31,358 --> 00:01:34,259
office building for the first time.
29
00:01:35,062 --> 00:01:37,162
He got on the elevator...and saw that there was no button
30
00:01:37,164 --> 00:01:39,264
for the thirteenth floor.
31
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:42,935
Fourteen does not come right after twelve!
32
00:01:42,937 --> 00:01:45,037
Wally's brain synapses fused.
33
00:01:45,039 --> 00:01:47,239
And he tried to get the elevator to stop between the
34
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:49,308
twelfth and fourteenth floors by punching a lot of
35
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:51,543
buttons, getting frustrated and pulling wires
36
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:53,979
out of the control panel.
37
00:01:53,981 --> 00:01:56,014
This set off the alarm - and when the fire department
38
00:01:56,016 --> 00:01:59,485
broke through the trap door, they found three terrified
39
00:01:59,487 --> 00:02:03,288
passengers and a crazed accountant trying to pry
40
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:06,058
open an elevator door with his pocket protector,
41
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:11,430
screaming "I'll get to that thirteenth floor!"
42
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:13,065
He was more determined than ever to find
43
00:02:13,067 --> 00:02:14,800
the missing floor!
44
00:02:14,802 --> 00:02:17,136
Then he saw a window washer's platform,
45
00:02:17,138 --> 00:02:19,538
and realized that he could use the ropes to pull
46
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:22,274
himself up to the thirteenth floor.
47
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:24,510
Now, normally, Wally's idea of a workout was dodging a
48
00:02:24,512 --> 00:02:26,011
tax audit.
49
00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:27,980
So after fifteen minutes of intense effort,
50
00:02:27,982 --> 00:02:30,415
Wally's heart was beating like a pile driver,
51
00:02:30,417 --> 00:02:32,451
he was practically drowning in sweat.
52
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:34,419
But Wally didn't give up.
53
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:37,422
He was driven to get to the logical and rational
54
00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:39,992
conclusion, which in this case would be to find
55
00:02:39,994 --> 00:02:41,360
floor number thirteen.
56
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:44,530
Sure, thirteen may be unlucky to some,
57
00:02:44,532 --> 00:02:48,000
but accountants like Wally don't believe in luck.
58
00:02:48,002 --> 00:02:51,336
Slowly but surely, he made it higher and higher,
59
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:53,338
then finally managed to haul himself up
60
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,073
those last few inches.
61
00:02:55,075 --> 00:02:57,843
And as he leaned forward to look into the thirteenth
62
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,846
floor window he realized that he'd let go of the
63
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:04,249
rope, and was falling towards the ground!
64
00:03:04,251 --> 00:03:06,084
Luckily, the building's flag pole
65
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:07,619
diverted his plummeting body.
66
00:03:07,621 --> 00:03:10,556
He bounced off the entrance awning and landed in a dump
67
00:03:10,558 --> 00:03:12,558
truck hauling sand.
68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,527
So much for not believing in luck.
69
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,196
When he regained consciousness,
70
00:03:17,198 --> 00:03:20,232
Wally was a man possessed.
71
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:22,467
The thirteenth floor haddefeated Wally Willis twice now.
72
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:26,572
Time for this Bruised Willis to turn into Bruce Willis.
73
00:03:26,574 --> 00:03:28,540
He could have shouted "Shazam!",
74
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:30,609
or slipped into a phone booth to change into tights
75
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:33,312
and cape.
76
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:36,014
But no, Wally was an accountant...a profession
77
00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:39,318
most definitely devoid of super heroes.
78
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:41,587
So Wally got hold of some blueprints,
79
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:43,956
and determined that the only way left into the building
80
00:03:43,958 --> 00:03:45,591
is through the sewer system.
81
00:03:45,593 --> 00:03:48,126
And the only way to get through the sewer was in a
82
00:03:48,128 --> 00:03:50,495
scuba suit...
83
00:03:50,631 --> 00:03:52,998
Wally made it through the sewer and into the basement
84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,033
of the building.
85
00:03:55,402 --> 00:03:58,337
Now for phase two: crawling through the building's
86
00:03:58,339 --> 00:04:01,373
ventilation systems without being detected.
87
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:03,642
After Wally's sewer adventures,
88
00:04:03,644 --> 00:04:06,278
it was a good thing the building's alarm systems
89
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680
weren't triggered by smell...
90
00:04:09,617 --> 00:04:11,950
Still, Wally followed his blueprints,
91
00:04:11,952 --> 00:04:14,386
and eventually emerged in the building's stairwell
92
00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:17,122
just like he'd planned.
93
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:20,292
He was on the twelfth floor - now all he had to do was
94
00:04:20,294 --> 00:04:23,328
climb up one more flight!
95
00:04:23,564 --> 00:04:25,464
And with his own personal Mt. Everest
96
00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:27,232
just a few feet away,
97
00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:30,369
what is Wally hoping to find on the thirteenth floor?
98
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:33,272
Fame? Fortune? Respect?
99
00:04:33,274 --> 00:04:36,008
Well, yeah, all those things - but mostly he was hoping
100
00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:37,709
to find a men's room.
101
00:04:37,711 --> 00:04:40,345
It had been a l-o-o-ong day.
102
00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:42,414
But suddenly there it was.
103
00:04:42,416 --> 00:04:44,549
A little door on the landing between the twelfth and
104
00:04:44,551 --> 00:04:46,184
fourteenth floor.
105
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:47,452
A door.
106
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:49,521
it had to be the 13th floor door.
107
00:04:49,523 --> 00:04:52,024
It did exist!
108
00:04:53,027 --> 00:04:55,494
Taking a deep breath, Wally opened the door -
109
00:04:55,496 --> 00:04:58,196
and saw something that took his breath away.
110
00:04:58,198 --> 00:05:02,200
Numbers nerds - dozens of 'em - maybe hundreds!
111
00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:06,004
Guys just like him, with bad skin and worse breath.
112
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:08,573
Guys who can remember pi to a million decimal places,
113
00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:11,176
but couldn't remember to wash more than once a year.
114
00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:13,512
And they turned to him as one,
115
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:17,215
and yelled out - "DON'T CLOSE THE -"
116
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:19,318
"-DOOR!"
117
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,055
But it was too late - the doorhad locked from the other side!
118
00:05:23,057 --> 00:05:27,626
He was trapped - just like dozens of other deadly dull
119
00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:30,595
digit detective dimwits, all of whom had found the
120
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:35,367
solution to the mystery of the missing thirteenth floor.
121
00:05:35,369 --> 00:05:36,869
That was a true story.
122
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,370
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
123
00:05:38,372 --> 00:05:40,294
Wally Willis.
124
00:05:40,295 --> 00:05:42,217
You can think about him the next time you're in an
125
00:05:42,218 --> 00:05:44,140
elevator without a button for the thirteenth floor,
126
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:46,511
just don't go leading any rescue missions for ol'
127
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:50,148
Wally - not unless you want to be the thirteenth floor's
128
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:52,584
next victim.
129
00:05:52,586 --> 00:05:54,453
What are we gonna
buy on the net?
130
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:56,521
Chicken nuggets.
131
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:57,589
What???
132
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:58,757
Chicken nuggets.
133
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,359
That's it?
134
00:06:00,361 --> 00:06:03,495
This is the latest in
scientific development.
135
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:05,297
And you want...
136
00:06:05,299 --> 00:06:07,265
Chicken nuggets.
137
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:08,600
Why???
138
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:10,035
I never had one.
139
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:11,636
Where have you
been all these years?
140
00:06:11,638 --> 00:06:12,771
In the grease trap.
141
00:06:12,773 --> 00:06:14,740
Uh, of course.
142
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:19,378
We'll be back with chiphead here
after the next Freaky Story.
143
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,548
This is a true story.
144
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,151
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine, Tod.
145
00:06:26,153 --> 00:06:30,589
Actually, it had to do more with his entire family.
146
00:06:30,591 --> 00:06:33,525
Tod's dad pictured himself to be the outdoors type.
147
00:06:33,527 --> 00:06:37,062
Like he was Paul Bunyon, only not so giant.
148
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:40,432
He always told stories about what a good fisherman he was
149
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:43,402
and how he once caught this twenty pound bass or that
150
00:06:43,404 --> 00:06:46,705
four foot long blue fish, or a trout that was so big,
151
00:06:46,707 --> 00:06:48,607
it didn't fit in his trunk.
152
00:06:48,609 --> 00:06:52,611
But everyone knew he was ... "exaggerating."
153
00:06:52,613 --> 00:06:54,846
Which was the nice family way of saying their dad
154
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:57,249
was a big fat liar.
155
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:59,351
Everybody thought that except for Tanya.
156
00:06:59,353 --> 00:07:01,386
You see, when she wasn't playing with her doll
157
00:07:01,388 --> 00:07:03,822
collection, she would tell her dad she wanted to be a
158
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:08,493
great fisherman -- okay, fisherperson.
159
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:11,296
He was so proud that he had this fatherly "role model"
160
00:07:11,298 --> 00:07:13,799
influence on his kid that he decided it was time to
161
00:07:13,801 --> 00:07:18,236
introduce his family to the great outdoors.
162
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,440
The worst part is, Tod's dad insisted the family was
163
00:07:21,442 --> 00:07:24,142
going to "rough it...with one exception,
164
00:07:24,144 --> 00:07:26,178
he let Tanya bring her doll case,
165
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:29,481
which made Tod learn the advantages of sucking up.
166
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:32,684
Tod's dad rented a cabin way out in the middle
167
00:07:32,686 --> 00:07:34,453
of nowhere.
168
00:07:34,455 --> 00:07:37,389
It was supposed to have the best fishing in the world.
169
00:07:37,391 --> 00:07:39,124
Tod wondered why any creature,
170
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:42,194
even a fish, would come to a place like this.
171
00:07:42,196 --> 00:07:44,362
There was no electricity.
172
00:07:44,364 --> 00:07:46,431
No running water, except through the roof
173
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,933
when it rained.
174
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:49,434
And if you had to go to the bathroom,
175
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:51,169
there wasn't one.
176
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,505
There was an outhouse.
177
00:07:53,507 --> 00:07:55,340
Tod and his mom hated the cabin,
178
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:56,775
couldn't stand the bugs.
179
00:07:56,777 --> 00:07:59,644
They were totally grossed out by the outhouse.
180
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:02,614
And fetching water from a well is kind of cute...
181
00:08:02,616 --> 00:08:05,183
in fairy tales.
182
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,651
In real life, let's just say,
183
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,855
Tod would rather die from thirst.
184
00:08:09,857 --> 00:08:12,157
But Tanya loved the whole adventure.
185
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:15,193
Especially the fishing.
186
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:17,696
She toddled off down the path with her runny nose and
187
00:08:17,698 --> 00:08:20,699
her toy fishing rod and reel like she really expected
188
00:08:20,701 --> 00:08:21,933
to catch something.
189
00:08:21,935 --> 00:08:24,402
Her dad was bursting with pride.
190
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:26,771
Tod played with his computer game in the van.
191
00:08:26,773 --> 00:08:30,342
His mom spent all of her time complaining.
192
00:08:30,511 --> 00:08:32,611
But Tod's dad was determined to have fun...
193
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:35,447
whether anyone liked it or not.
194
00:08:35,449 --> 00:08:36,848
At the end of the day,
195
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,918
Tanya came back with a huge big-mouth bass
196
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,786
dangling from her hook.
197
00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:44,356
The fish was practically as big as she was.
198
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,491
Dad came back with nothing.
199
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:48,226
He acted like he was thrilled with his daughter's
200
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:49,961
success.
201
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:52,631
But were his compliments a little flat?
202
00:08:52,633 --> 00:08:55,534
His pride a little touched with jealousy?
203
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,601
Of course not.
204
00:08:56,603 --> 00:08:57,936
Tanya was his offspring.
205
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:01,740
If she could catch such a big fish...fine.
206
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:03,375
Tod's dad prepared the fish,
207
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,477
his mom handled the barbecue and the bass was enjoyed
208
00:09:05,479 --> 00:09:06,778
by all.
209
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:09,481
Even Tod, who was not a big fish lover,
210
00:09:09,483 --> 00:09:11,383
kinda liked it.
211
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,518
Tanya gave her boring account of her catch
212
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,887
and described her fishing hole as
213
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:19,524
"the bestest fishing hole ever."
214
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:22,928
he next morning, Tod's dad wished his daughter good
215
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:25,931
luck, but secretly, he was bummed out.
216
00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:27,599
Not because he was jealous.
217
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:30,769
Oh no, but he had a reputation to keep up.
218
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:33,305
Sure it was a reputation he made with his own "big fish"
219
00:09:33,307 --> 00:09:36,308
stories, but he wasn't about to be out-fished
220
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:37,542
by his very own daughter.
221
00:09:37,544 --> 00:09:39,978
Okay, so maybe when you think about it,
222
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:41,913
the guy was jealous.
223
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,582
He went up and down the river.
224
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,817
Tried here and there and everywhere.
225
00:09:45,819 --> 00:09:47,452
But he got nothing.
226
00:09:47,454 --> 00:09:50,722
Zip. Zero. Totally shut out.
227
00:09:52,292 --> 00:09:54,626
At the end of that day, Tanya toddled back home with
228
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:56,695
another big fish on her line...
229
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:59,698
even bigger than the one she caught the first day.
230
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,500
They all sat around and enjoyed the fish.
231
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:04,970
Tanya's dad was all full of compliments and praise
232
00:10:04,972 --> 00:10:06,838
for "his little fisherperson."
233
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,441
But Tod could tell, his dad wasn't as pleased
234
00:10:09,443 --> 00:10:13,212
as he looked.
235
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:16,982
In fact, Tod thought, his dad seemed to be a little jealous.
236
00:10:16,984 --> 00:10:19,918
Well, "a little" soon became a huge understatement.
237
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,320
He was determined not to let his daughter
238
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:24,322
show him up again.
239
00:10:25,492 --> 00:10:27,492
So the next day, when Tanya headed off to her
240
00:10:27,494 --> 00:10:30,629
"bestest fishing hole", her dad followed her.
241
00:10:30,631 --> 00:10:32,831
He was pretty surprised when he realized
242
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:35,000
he didn't have far to go.
243
00:10:35,502 --> 00:10:37,969
You see, Tanya headed to a little run-down shed
244
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,005
behind the outhouse.
245
00:10:40,007 --> 00:10:41,673
Dad peeked in the window.
246
00:10:41,675 --> 00:10:44,843
There was Tanya, pulling a big fish out of her doll
247
00:10:44,845 --> 00:10:49,447
case which was filled with dry ice...and fish.
248
00:10:50,851 --> 00:10:52,618
This was a true story.
249
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:54,386
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine, Tod...
250
00:10:54,388 --> 00:10:57,622
and his sister, Tanya, who grew up to become the owner
251
00:10:57,624 --> 00:11:01,092
of Tanya's Frozen Fishstick Company.
252
00:11:04,931 --> 00:11:06,781
Ah, let's see here.
253
00:11:06,782 --> 00:11:08,632
Chicken nuggets with
sweet and sour sauce.
254
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:10,669
Chicken nuggests
with barbecue sauce.
255
00:11:10,671 --> 00:11:12,871
Chicken nuggets with
hot sauce, plum sauce-
256
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,406
No sauce.
257
00:11:14,408 --> 00:11:15,507
Plain chicken nuggets.
258
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:16,808
You got it, pal.
259
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:19,444
Ooo! Ooo! Me! Me!
Please please, can I do it?
260
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:20,945
Okay.
261
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:23,581
Go ahead, order.
How many do you want?
262
00:11:23,583 --> 00:11:25,083
Be my guest.
263
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:26,751
[BEEP BEEP]
264
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:28,720
See how easy.
265
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:30,688
With one tap, you
just ordered...
266
00:11:31,792 --> 00:11:34,459
YIKES!!!
267
00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:36,695
This is a true story.
268
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:38,730
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
269
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:40,965
An old friend, Billy Baxter.
270
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:43,368
Billy "Bean Boy" Baxter.
271
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:46,671
We used to call him Bean Boy because Billy loved beans.
272
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:48,406
Really looooved beans.
273
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:49,941
That's all he ate was beans.
274
00:11:49,943 --> 00:11:51,776
He was a beanaholic.
275
00:11:51,778 --> 00:11:54,946
Navy beans, kidney beans, lima beans.
276
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:57,515
For breakfast, lunch and dinner.
277
00:11:57,517 --> 00:12:00,518
Billy's mom did her best to make Billy's meals "normal".
278
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,954
She made bean casserole, bean stew,
279
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:05,323
bean omelets.
280
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:07,691
And on special occasions, beans a la king.
281
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:09,828
But there was one invisible problem.
282
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:12,897
Invisible, but you sure knew it was there.
283
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:15,133
It's what beans make you do.
284
00:12:15,135 --> 00:12:18,069
My mom used to call it "passing wind".
285
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:22,774
Man, I'd hate to get caught in one of Billy's wind storms.
286
00:12:22,776 --> 00:12:25,009
Billy would release his "wind" storm after he ate
287
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:26,945
beans, which I already mentioned,
288
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:28,546
was every meal.
289
00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:30,548
The bad news was, the house took on a
290
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:32,183
permanent fragrance.
291
00:12:32,184 --> 00:12:33,817
The good news was, they never had to call an
292
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:35,153
exterminator...
293
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:37,689
the house was permanently fumigated.
294
00:12:37,691 --> 00:12:39,574
So, just about every evening,
295
00:12:39,575 --> 00:12:41,458
right after dessert, when Billy was finishing his bean
296
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:45,029
pie, the whole family would don their gas masks.
297
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:47,465
They had everything worked out...lived a normal family
298
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:50,935
life, except for one little thing-after dinner,
299
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:52,871
when they sat around watching TV,
300
00:12:52,873 --> 00:12:55,106
there was more than a family resemblance.
301
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,776
You see they all had gas mask faces.
302
00:12:58,712 --> 00:13:01,746
Then came that fateful day, Mr. Baxter -that'd be
303
00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:04,983
Billy's dad - was to be awarded a citation.
304
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:07,485
It seems his neighbor was overcome in her garage
305
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,521
by carbon monoxide.
306
00:13:09,523 --> 00:13:12,724
Luckily, Mr. Baxter had his anti-Billy-gas mask,
307
00:13:12,726 --> 00:13:15,226
which he used to save her life.
308
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:18,129
Unfortunately, he came home without his gas mask,
309
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:20,965
got one whiff of Billy's you-know-what and went
310
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,935
unconscious for three days.
311
00:13:23,937 --> 00:13:26,504
He recovered in time for the big award ceremony.
312
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:29,541
He'd be getting a plaque from the mayor at a fancy dinner.
313
00:13:29,543 --> 00:13:32,076
There were newspaper reporters, TV crews.
314
00:13:32,078 --> 00:13:34,179
Everybody was very excited.
315
00:13:34,181 --> 00:13:36,080
It was gonna be a big night.
316
00:13:36,082 --> 00:13:38,616
But Billy's dad was worried his son would gas
317
00:13:38,618 --> 00:13:41,019
the place and send all the big shot guests
318
00:13:41,021 --> 00:13:42,754
running for their lives.
319
00:13:42,756 --> 00:13:46,057
So Mr. Baxter sat Billy down and made him an offer.
320
00:13:46,059 --> 00:13:48,259
If Billy would not eat beans at the dinner,
321
00:13:48,261 --> 00:13:50,829
he'd get a brand new dirt bike.
322
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:53,798
It was something Billy wanted with all his heart.
323
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,267
You see, dirt biking was something Billy could do
324
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:58,703
with the other kids, being that you went dirt biking
325
00:13:58,705 --> 00:14:01,573
outdoors. Plenty of fresh air.
326
00:14:01,575 --> 00:14:04,008
And if you got yourself upwind of Billy
327
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:05,743
it was pretty bearable.
328
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:09,247
Well, the night of the dinner Billy tried to be good.
329
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:12,217
But, they happen to serve a lovely bean soufflé.
330
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:13,985
Billy couldn't resist.
331
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:15,553
One little bite.
332
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:16,888
What could that hurt?
333
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:18,690
But yummmm...
334
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:20,758
the bean soufflé was irresistible.
335
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,126
Billy ate all of his...
336
00:14:22,128 --> 00:14:23,561
and more.
337
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:25,063
When his dad turned to greet the Mayor,
338
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:27,232
Billy ate his dad's soufflé.
339
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:29,534
Then he finished up his mom's portion.
340
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:33,271
Like I said, Billy looooved beans.
341
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,708
As soon as the Mayor began his speech,
342
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:39,244
Billy's belly started to rumble.
343
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:41,546
But he knew he had to control himself.
344
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:43,748
There was the dirt bike to think of.
345
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:45,617
And his father, who he didn't want to embarrass
346
00:14:45,619 --> 00:14:47,318
in front of the whole world.
347
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320
So he sat as stiff as he could,
348
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:51,189
not moving a muscle.
349
00:14:51,191 --> 00:14:53,057
But the rumbling got louder...
350
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:56,060
and louder.
351
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:57,996
Some people thought it was thunder and went to the
352
00:14:57,998 --> 00:15:00,198
windows to see if it was raining.
353
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,333
Up on the stage, Billy's dad could hear that
354
00:15:02,335 --> 00:15:04,869
oh-so-familiar rumble.
355
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:09,574
Billy was going to explode.
356
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:11,776
As hard as he tried, Billy knew he couldn't fight the
357
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:13,811
forces of nature.
358
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:16,915
The Mayor called Mr. Baxter to the podium
359
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:18,016
and they posed.
360
00:15:18,018 --> 00:15:20,018
The TV news cameras rolled.
361
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:22,587
Which is exactly when Billy blew.
362
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:25,790
The gas rushed out of him like a jet engine.
363
00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:28,059
Oh yeah, it was lift off time.
364
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:29,928
Billy got launched.
365
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:31,796
He jetted around the ballroom like you let the
366
00:15:31,798 --> 00:15:34,732
air out of a balloon and it goes out of control.
367
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:36,734
Well, there was Billy...
368
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:39,337
Woosh! BAM! Into the Mayor.
369
00:15:39,339 --> 00:15:42,273
Woosh! BAM! Into the Mayor's wife.
370
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:45,310
Woosh! BAM! Into the ice sculpture.
371
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:47,812
It looked like a hurricane had barreled through.
372
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:50,615
Cops showed up. The Fire Department.
373
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:52,917
And the Emergency Hazardous Materials Unit
374
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,120
arrived to evacuate the entire neighborhood.
375
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:57,822
That was a true story.
376
00:15:57,824 --> 00:16:00,124
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
377
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:02,226
Billy Baxter, who grew up to join
378
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:04,195
the Hazardous Materials Unit.
379
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:06,331
Oh sure, for all the good work they do,
380
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:09,400
but more important, he gets to wear one of those
381
00:16:09,402 --> 00:16:12,270
completely sealed bio hazard suits,
382
00:16:12,272 --> 00:16:15,406
so he can eat as many beans he wants and keep
383
00:16:15,408 --> 00:16:18,910
the after-effect all to himself.
384
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:23,314
Are you nuts?
385
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:26,818
You ordered a hundred
boxes of chicken nuggets.
386
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:29,187
A hundred boxes...
387
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:30,972
Why?
388
00:16:30,973 --> 00:16:32,756
I wanted to answer a
question that's been bugging
389
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,426
me ever since I first
heard of chicken nuggets.
390
00:16:35,428 --> 00:16:37,829
And the question is?
391
00:16:37,831 --> 00:16:41,432
What part of the
chicken is the nugget?
392
00:16:44,304 --> 00:16:46,137
This is a true story.
393
00:16:46,139 --> 00:16:48,172
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
394
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:49,741
Well, two of them really.
395
00:16:49,743 --> 00:16:50,842
Brothers.
396
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:53,495
Phil's eight and Ben's ten.
397
00:16:53,496 --> 00:16:56,147
The trouble started when their Uncle Harry came for a visit.
398
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:57,949
Phil and Ben's dad told them,
399
00:16:57,951 --> 00:17:02,220
whatever you do, Don't laugh at Uncle Harry's toupee.
400
00:17:02,222 --> 00:17:04,722
That's like saying, Don't stare at the wart
401
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:07,025
on that lady's nose.
402
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:09,060
So when Uncle Harry showed up,
403
00:17:09,062 --> 00:17:11,696
the boys tried to look at his big fat belly,
404
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:14,298
or his smelly cigar, or whatever.
405
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:17,735
Anything but that extra hunk of hair.
406
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:21,406
But the toupee was hard not to stare at.
407
00:17:21,408 --> 00:17:24,375
It looked like a dead squirrel.
408
00:17:25,311 --> 00:17:27,412
Now, Uncle Harry was one of those uncles who doesn't
409
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:30,014
come around much and all he remembers is his nephews
410
00:17:30,016 --> 00:17:31,816
from when they were babies.
411
00:17:31,818 --> 00:17:34,752
You know, he tells stupid baby jokes and if you don't
412
00:17:34,754 --> 00:17:37,355
laugh he tickles you till you laugh so hard the milk
413
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:40,858
you just swallowed shoots out your nose.
414
00:17:41,361 --> 00:17:43,227
Uncle Harry even remembered the time he changed
415
00:17:43,229 --> 00:17:46,297
Phil's diaper like it was some major event.
416
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:49,617
Oh yeah...
417
00:17:49,618 --> 00:17:51,201
Uncle Harry along with all the great things he believed
418
00:17:51,204 --> 00:17:55,206
he was, thought he was an animal expert.
419
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:57,175
He tried to teach Romeo, that's the family dog,
420
00:17:57,177 --> 00:17:59,844
how to stand up and beg for a treat.
421
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:02,847
Romeo thought a family dog should not have to beg.
422
00:18:02,849 --> 00:18:05,149
So he ran out his doggie door.
423
00:18:05,151 --> 00:18:07,852
Uncle Harry said Romeo was too dumb to learn tricks and
424
00:18:07,854 --> 00:18:11,222
turned his attention to Juliet, the cat.
425
00:18:11,224 --> 00:18:15,093
Well, cats are not stupid when it comes to big old blowhards.
426
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:17,161
She saw that gleam in Uncle Harry's eye and bailed
427
00:18:17,163 --> 00:18:19,764
right out after Romeo.
428
00:18:19,899 --> 00:18:24,268
By then, Uncle Harry wore himself out being so amusing
429
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:27,271
and decided to take a nap.
430
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:32,443
Now Romeo was as annoyed with Uncle Harry as anyone.
431
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:34,812
And since the dog was not a relative of Harry,
432
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:36,848
he didn't have to be nice to him.
433
00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:40,084
So while Harry was napping, Romeo jumped in the window
434
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:42,053
and stole Uncle Harry's toupee.
435
00:18:44,824 --> 00:18:47,058
Luckily, Phil looked out the window in time to see Romeo
436
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:49,360
take off down the street.
437
00:18:49,362 --> 00:18:52,296
He got Ben and the boys chased after the dog.
438
00:18:52,565 --> 00:18:54,532
Romeo looked kind of silly, running down the street with
439
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:58,035
this limp piece of black fur hanging out of his mouth.
440
00:18:58,037 --> 00:19:00,037
Like he was some kind of hunting dog who just caught
441
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:01,439
something.
442
00:19:01,441 --> 00:19:03,307
The chase went on across back yards,
443
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:05,543
through parking lots and even into the park where
444
00:19:05,545 --> 00:19:08,412
Romeo tried to hide behind a tree.
445
00:19:08,414 --> 00:19:10,414
But another dog, a much bigger dog,
446
00:19:10,416 --> 00:19:13,584
wanted the tree for his own personal use.
447
00:19:14,087 --> 00:19:15,820
So Romeo was off and running.
448
00:19:15,822 --> 00:19:17,889
He took a sharp left and scooted into
449
00:19:17,891 --> 00:19:19,891
Mrs. Fiorello's back yard.
450
00:19:19,893 --> 00:19:22,894
The boys ran past the house, but then realized Romeo
451
00:19:22,896 --> 00:19:26,197
must have pulled that old trick of his...
452
00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:29,300
Anyway, when the boys got to the Fiorello's back yard,
453
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:32,069
there was Romeo, wagging his little tail,
454
00:19:32,071 --> 00:19:36,507
proud as could be, sitting on a mound of dirt.
455
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:39,310
They knew right away it was the toupee's grave
456
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:41,879
Romeo was sitting on.
457
00:19:42,081 --> 00:19:43,447
Much to Romeo's disappointment,
458
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:46,918
Phil and Ben dug up the ratty hunk of fake hair.
459
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,853
It was even rattier coming out of the ground
460
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:50,855
than it was going in.
461
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:53,491
It seems that Mrs. Fiorello had done some natural
462
00:19:53,493 --> 00:19:56,027
fertilizing of her lawn.
463
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:59,330
Natural. Like... it really stunk... awful.
464
00:19:59,332 --> 00:20:01,199
When the boys got back to the house,
465
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,101
Uncle Harry was still snoring away.
466
00:20:04,103 --> 00:20:06,904
Phil and Ben tried to wash the toupee by hand.
467
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:09,106
But to do that they would have to touch all that
468
00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:11,475
yuchy fertilizer still stuck to it.
469
00:20:11,477 --> 00:20:13,177
Yuck.
470
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:16,447
So they tossed it in the washing machine.
471
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:18,649
Phil and Ben don't know about Delicate cycles
472
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:21,118
and Permanent Press settings.
473
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,354
So after the machine pounding and an hour in the
474
00:20:23,356 --> 00:20:26,557
dryer, that toupee was nothing but a naked piece of
475
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,960
tumble-dried hair net.
476
00:20:28,962 --> 00:20:32,063
Dinner! their dad announced.
477
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:34,265
Phil and Ben had to think of something quick.
478
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:35,333
And they did.
479
00:20:36,603 --> 00:20:38,236
When they all sat down to dinner,
480
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:40,338
there was Uncle Harry, looking as good as
481
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:42,106
Uncle Harry could look...
482
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,575
complete with all his fake hair.
483
00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:46,611
Like he didn't have a clue his toupee had gone through
484
00:20:46,613 --> 00:20:48,646
an obstacle course.
485
00:20:48,648 --> 00:20:51,315
And everybody was once again forcing themselves
486
00:20:51,317 --> 00:20:53,317
to laugh at his bad jokes.
487
00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:55,219
So Harry was pretty happy.
488
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:59,690
That is, until the boys' mom came out with the main course,
489
00:20:59,692 --> 00:21:02,426
a beautiful baked salmon.
490
00:21:03,296 --> 00:21:05,630
That's when Juliet leaped off Uncle Harry's head,
491
00:21:05,632 --> 00:21:10,001
grabbed a hunk of salmon and dove out the doggie door.
492
00:21:10,703 --> 00:21:12,403
That was a true story.
493
00:21:12,405 --> 00:21:14,138
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine...
494
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,574
actually two friends, Phil and Ben,
495
00:21:16,576 --> 00:21:20,044
who changed their Uncle Harry's life forever.
496
00:21:20,046 --> 00:21:23,681
He became a star, kind of, when he got the lead part in
497
