I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.

That works for me.

Oh. I thought it was a reference to the "Would you like to buy a duck?" game.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

the "Would you like to buy a duck?" game.

I've never heard of this game. Is drinking involved?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What? They don't show Marx Brothers at your theater?

Drinking would make it far more difficult, as it involves recursion. It goes like this:

"Would you like to buy a duck?"
"A what?"
"A duck."
"What kind of duck?"
"A purple duck."

"Would you like to buy a desk chair?"
"A what?"
"A what?"
"A duck."
"A desk chair."
"Whose desk chair?"
"What kind of duck?"
"A purple duck."
"Benjamin Franklin's."

"Would you like to buy a monkey?"
"A what?"
"A what?"
"A what?"
"A duck."
"A desk chair."
"A monkey."
"Where's it from?"
"Whose desk chair?"
"What kind of duck?"
"A purple duck."
"Benjamin Franklin's."
"Mongolia."

And so on.
