Help me be clever

[SharonDee]

There are some quick-witted folks here and I'm feeling particularly slow-witted today. (Example: I just typed "clover" when I meant to type "clever".) I need puns or other wisecrackery about a well known old movie, the better to spice up my account of yesterday's meeting.

Situation: The president of my company confessed to taking supplements to help his mental... um... thinking. (I need some too, apparently.) "I'm not sure what they're called. Ginkgo Bilboa, I think."

The best I have is, "I had to stifle a laugh at imagining Rocky-shaped pills."

Hello? Is this thing on?

And your wife doesn't mind when you call her Adrian?

[SharonDee]

Great one! :writer:

Thanks.

Anything that improves your ability to pummel frozen beef carcasses is okay by me.

Its Ginkgo Biloba (http://www.xs4all.nl/~kwanten/). In which case, I can't think of anything clever. Sorry. :sadcheer:

edit: I just saw the quote marks, you mean he said "Bilboa". :doh:

[SharonDee]

Nah, it's my bad. If I'd been more clear with my phrasing, you would have understood.

Also, I tried out the Rocky stuff and drew blank stares from those in my audience. Hopefully it will fare better in the text when I write my report.

As I thought about it, too, "bilboa" kind of sounds like Bilbo. As in Baggins.

Yeah, I'll shut up now.

Y'know, I used to take that stuff...but I quit, because I couldn't remember why I was taking them.
