Nostalgia
From Roll Call:
"[Senator Arlen] Specter also created a new category of political joke: the Alfonse D'Amato adultery joke. Specter said he was riding a train once with the former New York GOP Senator. The porter came by asking passengers, "What'll it be, rye, Scotch or bourbon?" A minister on the train was offended, indignantly exclaiming, "Rye, scotch or bourbon?! Why, I'd commit adultery first!"
D'Amato jumped up and yelled after the porter, "Wait, wait! I didn't know that was a choice!"
Those were the days,
Mister we could use a man like Fonzie again,
He never needed any dignity,
As long as he got paid his amenity,
Gee our old Camaro ran great,
Those were the days!
This is similar to an old joke with Winston Churchill. Churchill was with a priest before giving a speech and a waitress offered glasses of sherry. The priest said he would prefer adultery and Churchill said "Come back later. I didn't know we had a choice." Go google it.
did someone say "opportunity?"
