There’s a story about an American soldier during World War II who desperately wanted to prove himself by shooting an enemy Japanese soldier. His friend, seeing this, told him, not to worry. “I’ve got an idea just go up to the top of the trench and call out ‘Damn Hirohito!’” The soldier thought that was a good idea, so he did just that.
But, after a few minutes, a Japanese soldier came out and shouted “Damn Roosevelt!” Dejected, the American soldier went back to his friend and told him what happened. The friend shrugged and said, “Well, I understand. We can’t shoot a Republican.”
That wouldn’t have worked on me ‘cause I don’t know the song. But if he’d yelled “Dental plan!” I would have felt compelled to yell back, “Lisa needs braces!”

I would’ve thought Shave and a Haircut would be a better lure for Brewster.

I wonder what Brewster’s response would have been if they lured him out by singing “Tutti Frutti.” RIP, Little Richard.

These guys seem smarter than your average stormtrooper. They are either going to officer training, or they are going to defect.

A panel of Pam in the shower would’ve worked, too.

Shave and a haircut, two bits. Worked in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

:) Panel 3 or 4 needs a “wait for it” kind of hand signal :)

Has everyone seen Neil Diamond singing “Sweet Caroline”, for the COVID shut-ins? He’s made a clever change to the lyrics.

I would’ve tried “Rock ‘n’ Roll, Part 2.” It just doesn’t work without “HEY!”

I love Neil! My daughter even had that song played at her wedding and everybody joined in on the chorus.
