Wisdom from the Honeymooners


Ralph Kramden: Norton, I am now a member of the Second Free Will Baptist Church of New York City! And I am using my free will to inform you, that you too have the power of independent choice. Norton ol' pal, if you play your cards right, can become a Christian…at the drop of a hat! ANY old hat!
Ed Norton: Ralphy boy, I am now and always will be a five point Calvinist! YOU just THINK you have free will!
Ralph: Norton, you can't expect me to swallow all that doctrinal malarkey!
Norton: You obviously have learned to swallow everything else!
Ralph: From here on in, we are deadly enemies. I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to see you, I don't want to have nothing to do with you. If you see me coming down the street, get on the other side.
Norton: When you come down the street, there AIN'T no other side!
Ralph: OUT! GET OUT NORTON BEFORE I DO SOMETHING I COULD SERVE TIME FOR!
Norton: Okay, okay…I'm leaving! But, it was something I was predestined to do. I leave you with this short poem:

Roses are red
Tulip stems are long
If I agreed with your theology
We'd BOTH be wrong!

Ralph: That's it, Norton! OUT!

  1. I can't help it. I hear the voices of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble when I read this.

  2. Well, what do you know about that! I can't help but hear the voices of Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound when I read this.

  3. You're BOTH hearing voices...which is not a good sign!

  4. Well, how about that! Daws and Alan are rebuked by June in June.

    I suppose it would sound like a gentle rebuke as Rocky the Flying Squirrel, but if she said it as Talky Tina, I'd be afwaid... vewy, vewy afwaid.
