Goofs

Quotes
Bobby Leach: So then I decided to go on a tour of the world displaying my Niagara Falls barrel to the paying crowd. I ended up in New Zealand, and that's where I died.
Grim Reaper: Hmm. By swimming... over a waterfall... *blindfolded*?
Bobby Leach: No, no. I slipped on an orange peel, broke my leg and died of gangrene.
Grim Reaper: [laughs] By slipping on an orange peel? You *lemon*!
