What an epitaph: "Ooh, ooh, ooh!"

I liked the bit with Mr Woodman where he says "If you aks me . . . " and Woodman says "Who axed you?"

Horshack was also a very respected name meaning "the cattle are dying."

"Heeeh, heeeh, heeeh"

That was mainly Barbarino's line, but they may have all said it once or twice. The joke was probably Gabe Kaplan's. Sounds like him.
