"Oh Howard you are so cute. I want to take off your toupee and lick your bald Jewish head."
"Thank you Suzzane maybe later. So Bruce what do you think of Suzzane. Wouldn't you like to do her?"
"Do her? I want to be her!"
"WHAT?"
"Oh sorry. It's 1977. I am 38 years too early for this. Nevermind."

Mommy, why does Daddy cuss the TV and call it Howard?
--Howard Cosell quote from Brainy Quotes
It seems like only yesterday that I was watching Heather Thomas and Heather Locklear in the dunk tank. Loni Anderson. Erin Grey. Suzzane. Joyce DeWitt.
Where did the time go.
"Do her? I want to be her?"
I would change that second question mark to an exclamation mark.
But that juxtaposition between "to do" and "to be" is a very understated duality in life. Science has struggled on more than one occasion to parse the difference between what something is vs. what something does. Religion has grappled with the difference between sin (noun) and sinning (verb) which is like "to be" vs. "to do."
Bravo, Troop, for positing yet another deep philosophical conundrum in such an off-beat (or vice versa) context.
Youse guys are too kind.
Fixed it.
Fixed it.
? -> !
Fixing one kink makes all the difference! It makes the the whole sentence stand up straighter.
