Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk, Private Eye
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey, there he is! There's Monk! Natalie: Where? Captain Stottlemeyer: 20 degrees to port. Natalie: Is he swimming? Lieutenant Disher: What's that beside him? Is it a life preserver? Captain Stottlemeyer: Ah, looks like a toilet seat. Linda Fusco: Well, if it's floating, why doesn't he just grab it? Natalie: [all groan] Too hard to explain. Captain Stottlemeyer: Complicated story.
