Quotes

Good evening. I'm Mr. Mike, inviting you to come with me into a world where the bizarre is commonplace and the commonplace bizarre. It is an odyssey of agressive wierdness.

- Mr. Mike
Blackheads drive me wild.

If you want to get to first base with me, honey, spit when you talk.
- Terri Garr
When my date blows his nose in his handkerchief and then looks at it, I can't say no.
- Jane Curtin
