San Diego, Chemistry Dept. Administration Lines: 17 A few years ago there was a Rice Krispies commercial sung to the tune of "Vesta La Giuppa" from I Paggliacci (please,no flames. I know the spelling is atrocious). It went something like this: MAN : No more Rice Krispies, I've run out of Rice Krispies. My heart will not stop, till I hear that snap,crackle, pop. WOMAN : Here is Rice Krispies MAN (aside) : Its my mother-in-law! WOMAN : I've brought you Rice Krispies. (then something to the effect that shes has come for a long visit) MAN: (in a whisper) Its the thirteenth time so far this year! (cries and then when he finds that shes heard what he's said ,laughs) Jerry Greenberg
