I kind of like the Ernie & Bert routine where Bert reveals that his favorite number is 6, even though as far as Ernie can see there's really not six of anything, and then Ernie comes up with a rather high and equally outlandish number as his favorite.

Is that the one where a bald man has hats going on his head and each hat covers one bit of his face till every bit of his face is covered?
Sounds accurate though I don't recall his entire FACE being covered.
