Quote from Wilson in Bell Bottom Blues
Wilson: Hi ho, neighbor. Tim: Hey, Wilson. What are you up to? Wilson: I'm tending my tulips, Tim. Tim: Little late in the year for that, isn't it? Wilson: Well, I'm forcing them. Tim: How? By squeezing their bulbs? Wilson: No, no, no, no, Tim. Forcing flower bulbs is making them bloom out of season by growing them indoors in pots.
