Jerry Quote #491

Quote from Jerry in The Pitch/The Ticket

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Parents like to drag kids to these historical sights on vacation. I remember going to Colonial Williamsburg and you see the supposedly authentic blacksmith there. You know, he's got the three-cornered hat, and the knickers, and the Def Leppard t-shirt. My parents took me to the Amish country, which, you know, to a kid, you see a bunch of people that have no cars, no TVs, no phones, they go "So what? Neither do I." So it's a whole community that's been grounded. So that's the way they should punish the kid after they get home, "All right, kid, get up to your room. You are Amish, young man. For the rest of the weekend, Amish. Don't come down till you make some noodles and raise a barn."
