    During the savings and loan crisis in the early 90s, he did "Top Ten Signs that Your Bank is Failing." Number three was, "When you deposit cash, a bank officer pockets it and dances around, yelling, 'Lordy, lordy! We're having biscuits tonight!'" For some reason, that one stuck with me so that every time I find myself with a little extra cash, I can't help but quote that line.
