Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo: No, I mean what’s the fastest way from here to Albuquerque?
Fisherman: You gotta go back to the main highway, really.
Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo: That was more than 45 minutes!
Fisherman: I’ve seen you before. I’m one of your greatest fans, you know that? I’ve followed all the races. I have pictures of you all over the outhouse. I even named my favorite dog after you, Mr. Frankenstein, I did.
Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo: You lousy stinking dirtball… you’ve got two seconds to live!

Anyway, here’s the list::
