Don Coatney Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Was that a ford I spotted near the end? Quote
linus6948 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Posted September 28, 2014 Was that a ford I spotted near the end? It has to be a vision Don as I did not encounter another car on this run. Quote
RobertKB Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 I believe Don is being mischievous . Ford as in a shallow crossing of a stream or river. 3 Quote
linus6948 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Boy I`m getting a little slow in my old age, that joke is used in one of my favorite marx brothers routines, I should have caught it. Actually that water feature across the road is intentional and usually it is really flowing fast. However we have had one of driest Septembers since they started keeping records around here so it has been down to a trickle lately. Hammer: Come over here, Rand McNally, and I'll explain this thing to you. Now look, this is a map and diagram of the whole Cocoanut section. ...Hammer: ... Now, here is a little peninsula, and, eh, here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.Chico: Why a duck?Hammer: I'm alright, how are you? I say, here is a little peninsula, and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.Chico: Alright, why a duck?Hammer: (pause) I'm not playing "Ask Me Another," I say that's a viaduct.Chico: Alright! Why a duck? Why that...why a duck? Why a no chicken?Hammer: Well, I don't know why a no chicken; I'm a stranger here myself.All I know is that it's a viaduct. You try to cross over there a chicken and you'll find out why a duck.Chico: When I go someplace I just...Hammer: (interrupts) It's...It's deep water, that's why a duck. It's deep water.Chico: That's why a duck...Hammer: Look...look, suppose you were out horseback riding and you came to that streamand you wanted to ford over...You couldn't make it, it's too deep!Chico: Well, why do you want with a Ford if you gotta horse?Hammer: Well, I'm sorry the matter ever came up. All I know is that it's a viaduct.Chico: Now look, alright, I catch ona why a horse, why a chicken, why a this, why a that...I no catch ona why a duck.Hammer: I was only fooling...I was only fooling. They're gonna build a tunnel there in the morning. Now is that clear to you?Chico: Yes, everything excepta why a duck.

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 the dialog did not amuse me..must be a lot more in the actual audio visual vrsion...proper spelling of words and enunciation would prevent 90% of misunderstanding.. Quote
Dave72dt Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 It's supposed to be a play on words, similar to the "who's on first " routine. Quote
pflaming Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Dave, you must remember that Plymouthy is a realist, a play on words to him is a waste of time and effort, "say it right, say it once, case closed" ALA Plymouthy Adams. LOL 1 Quote
