"I know there's no such person as Dracula. You know there's no such person as Dracula. But does Dracula know it?"

- from Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein; substitute any imaginary scary character for Dracula

Ben and Jerry's comedy routines

Our mission in life seems to be to make each other laugh. So here is the start of a list of routines and in-jokes we've picked up over the years -

"I don't know which Batman to clobber!"

- paraphrased from a quote by Robin, in an episode of The Batman where Batman and an evil duplicate Batman fight; substitute any character appearing multiple times, usually as we play with our action figures

Ben: "Dad, smell my feet." (puts foot up to Jerry's nose)

Jerry: (inhales) "Mmmm! Smells like flowers!"

Ben: (puts other foot up to Jerry's nose)

Jerry: (inhales)(pauses) "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I surrender!! I surrender!!"

Ben: (laughs)

- my reactions are generally the same although the words can vary, i.e. saying it smells clean or like roses instead of flowers, saying "this smells like -----" (anything bad) instead of "I surrender!", etc.; once in a while, make the first foot smell bad and the second smell good, or act like both smell good

I'll add more to this post as I think of them. If they are new ones that seem to be lasting, I'll write them in future posts.
