	One episode that has stuck in my mind all these years is when
Mr. Peabody and Sherm land in France during WWI.  At one point, they
are standing in a desolate plain that Mr. Peabody states is the
Argonne Forest...
	Sherm:		"But there aren't any trees!"
	Peabody:	"Exactly, Sherman, they Ar Gonne!"
	Sherm:		"<Groan> You should have saved THAT for the
			 end of the show!"
	Peabody:	"I have one that's even better!"

	Mr. Peabody keeps his word, too!  At the end of the show,
he tells Sherman that England had a desperation plan had the Germans
won WWI.  All the citizens of England were going to embark in a
gigantic zeppelin to escape the invading Germans...
	Sherm:		"I've never heard of such a plan."
	Peabody:	"Of course you have, Sherman -- 'one
			 nation, in dirigible!'"
