From Saturday Night Live, back when it was funny:
Save Soviet jewelry?! Where are we going to put it? I say keep it over THERE, with all their ballet dancers! Let them keep their own jewelry AND their own ballet dancers! As a matter of fact, why don’t get the ballet dancers to save the jewelry?! Americans have more important things to save! And electricity! And what about our fuel? Now, THAT’S important! Not jewelry!
CHEVY: Miss Litella. Miss Litella.
EMILY LITELLA: What?!
CHEVY: It’s Jewry. Jewry. Not jewelry.
EMILY LITELLA: It’s what?
CHEVY: Soviet Jewry. The editorial was about Jewry, not jewelry.
EMILY LITELLA: Oh! Well, that’s very important.
CHEVY: Yes.
EMILY LITELLA: *smiling* Never mind!
CHEVY: Miss Litella. Miss Litella.
EMILY LITELLA: What?!
CHEVY: It’s Jewry. Jewry. Not jewelry.
EMILY LITELLA: It’s what?
CHEVY: Soviet Jewry. The editorial was about Jewry, not jewelry.
EMILY LITELLA: Oh! Well, that’s very important.
CHEVY: Yes.
EMILY LITELLA: *smiling* Never mind!
hysterical RIP Gilda!
