He has been known by many names; the Prince of Lies, the Director, Lucifer,
Belial, and once, at a party, some obnoxious drunk kept calling him "Dude".

Birds of a feather?

Sounds like a description of Ian Duncan Smith.

Horngren's observation:
Among economists, the real world is often a special case.

A segment from Johnny Carson, March 1969, with Bob Hope (whose time slot is ending as the clip begins so keeps relatively quiet throughout), Dean Martin (making a purportedly unscheduled appearance) and George Gobel (who contributes at least three classical lines.)

Outtakes from Carol Burnett when Tim Conway's elephant story cracks up the other performers to the point they can't say their lines and continue the skit.

The classical Abbott & Costello "Who's On First" routine. (They didn't invent it, but became its most effective deliverers.)

[Decrepit Poster]

Calgary's Worst Driver. How somewhat can make such a convoluted (and criminal) mess out of the seemingly simply act of backing out of parking spot is mind boggling.

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid, but he says he can stop any time.

[Sorrano]

That reminds me of the guys at a service station that were constantly annoyed by a particular stray dog in the area. They decided to get rid of it, so they gave it some gasoline to drink. To their surprise, as soon the dog had lapped it up he tore down the street at full speed, then back again, doing this several times. Suddenly he stopped and keeled over. One of the guys went to check on him to see if the dog was dead, but no, he was just out of gas.

What a little cutie!

For IT people:

Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into (Nick-les Worth). Which is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.

How about a plugged nickle? Good one, Enrique!

Hi Sorrano, Chris. What's a plugged nickle?
EDIT: I found the meaning: a nearly worthless amount.
