I first heard it as lawnmower. And either way, it’s more about the structure than about getting every word right. If nobody could put their own spin on existing jokes, we never would have gotten Norm’s version of the moth joke.

I was very careful in having him say “am I right in assuming” instead of “that means” for that part.

Does he deserve one, though? He hasn’t done anything useful, he’s just been standing next to a bench.

Oh, it absolutely is. Tradition for tradition sake leads to so many bad practices.

I figured you’d get stuck on that.
