7. w: "I am the Captain of the Pinafore!"
ALL:
And a right good captain, too!

w:
You're very, very good,
And be it understood,
I command a right good crew,

ALL:
We're very, very good,
And be it understood,
He commands a right good crew.

w:
Though related to a peer,
I can hand, reef, and steer,
And ship a selvagee;
I am never known to quail
At the furry of a gale,
And I'm never, never sick at sea!

ALL:
What, never?

w:
No, never!

ALL:
What, never?

w:
Hardly ever!

ALL:
He's hardly ever sick at sea!
Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
For the hardy Captain of the Pinafore!
Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
For the Captain of the Pinafore!

14. I polished up the handle so carefully, that now I am the ruler of the
Queen's Navy!

(Of course, Junior would have had someone do it for him.)

Yes, the Sideshow Bob rendition was fabulous; too bad Grammer's a Republican.

10. I remember when Poppy got the date wrong at a speech.
The date of Pearl Harbor. Can't remember what he said exactly, but everyone in the audience was looking at him like, "What the hell's the matter with this guy?"

12. W is thinking: what's that term, day gsa voodoo or something ...
like, I feel I've been here before ... maybe it's because we talked about Pearl Harbor so darn much, especially in the summer of 2001 ... down at Crawford, I know it came up between stem cells and clearing brush ... now, that I'm here ... I wonder why we were saying we needed another one of these?

22. I didn't even notice that
Actually they have the Governor (in blue) as both the Governor and the first lady. I guess Pickles needs to go back wearing those nucular pink outfits to be noticed.

23. Who sank my battleship???!!!
Turns to admiral standing next to him and says "Captain, I want my name in gold in the marble just like some of those fellas back at the dock. I'm president, I deserve to have my name in gold."

Note: For those who have never visited Pearl Harbor, there is a listing of names of those who were lost. The ones in gold denote Medal of Honor recipient.
