“How long has John been in there?”
“I dunno, I’m on marijuana minutes.”

Brilliant.

Awesome.

“This type of man who is devoted to the study of wisdom is always most unlucky in everything, and particularly when it comes to procreating children; I imagine this is because Nature wants to ensure that the evils of wisdom shall not spread further throughout mankind.”

“Ask a wise man to dinner and he’ll upset everyone by his gloomy silence or tiresome questions. Invite him to a dance and you’ll have a camel prancing about. Haul him off to a public entertainment and his face will be enough to spoil the people’s entertainment.”
-Desiderius Erasmus

I don’t know about you but I could certainly give Buzz Killington a run for his money.

In Rites of Passage, Al, for some obscure and largely forgotten reason, feels it’s time to bond with his son, Bud, and take the hapless nerd to the Nudie Bar. This sort of escapade is a rarity in the series, as the two spend little time together under more normal circumstances. That being said, the trip was a memorable one. After leaving the club, Bud asks what he should tell his mother when she demands to know where he’s been all night. Al’s response is perfect: “Well, son, you’re a man now. When your mother asks you where you were, you do what your supposed to do. You look her right in the eye and tell her we were stuck in traffic.” While completely dishonest, he does cover a fairly common issue with his straightforward answer.
