Several years ago on the Tonight Show a comedian - I think it was Pat McCormick (sp) the guy who plays the big millionaire in Smokey and the Bandit? Anyway, the premise is that the Lone Ranger asks a question to Tonto. Tonto's answer is in broken English so not only does he answer the question but the answer says something else... for example: Lone Ranger: Hey Tonto, what happens if I poke a stick at a rabbit? Tonto: Hm, Bugs Bunny. or, Lone Ranger: Hey Tonto, why did Gentle Ben cry at Smoke the Bear's death? Tonto: Hm, Ben Gay and so it goes ad nauseum. Maybe you can think up a few? I have a lot more, but I thought I would spare people from the more dumb ones. (Indians to the North of us, Indians to the South of us, Indians to the East of us, Indians to the West of us, well it looks like WE are surrounded, eh Tonto?)
