   I'm reminded of _Violent Is the Word for Curly_, a 1938 Three Stooges   
   short in which a professor says he plans to return to Hamburg on the   
   Clipper.  Curly, mishearing it, says he never heard of a hamburger   
   with a zipper.  It's noteworthy as containing the first-ever music   
   video.  It can be viewed for free on YouTube.

   Wouldn't it make more sense to have a frankfurter in Frankfurt?   
   (Frankfurt is a city in Germany.  Frankfort is the capital of   
   Kentucky.)
