So I stopped by the lobby shop in the student center at my university the other day to pick up my usual morning libation. The student worker behind the counter had a textbook on abnormal psychology open on the desk. I, being cute, asked, “get many ‘Abby Normal’ jokes in class”? (Click the link to see the joke.)

To which I received a blank stare.

She had, she later acknowledged, heard OF the movie Young Frankenstein, but had certainly never seen it. And so she had no idea that I had set her up for one of the best movie jokes of all time when Igor goes to collect a brain from the morgue for Dr. Frankenstein and instead of getting the brain of a genius, collects the brain of “Abby someone .. . Abby Normal.”

Most of the people reading this post won’t get that joke. But for the rest of us, I offer another classic:

“Put … the candlestick … back!”
