George Quote #1349

Quote from George in The Van Buren Boys

Jerry: Who is the last president to have a beard?
George: Nixon.
Jerry: No, I mean a real thick beard.
George: His was thick.
Jerry: No, I mean like a full, long beard, like Smith Brothers Cough Drops.
George: Falkmore.
Jerry: Who?
George: Artemis N. Falkmore.
Jerry: You made that up, right?
George: Yeah. But it sounds like a president name?
Jerry: Yeah. Why do presidents all have these bad names? Woodrow, Grover, Millard.
George: The presidency attracts the badly named. Their ambition is based on personal insecurities. It's classic male overcompensation.
Jerry: Are you wearing lifts in those shoes?
George: Cab!
