That was one of the only Forgetful Jones bits I remember and also one of the best. So funny!

This one always had me in stitches. I also liked the similar version where Kermit tries to direct Forgetful to go through the doors of a saloon, but Forgetful instead goes first AROUND the doors, then UNDER them, and then OVER them (almost killing himself in the process), and Kermit's having a similar stress attack by the end. :smile:

Thanks for the clip, I didn't know it was on youtube. I love the part when Kermit says, "AAAAA-klahoma, you said AAAA-klahoma!!!!"

You guys are leaving out the best part! :wink: When everyone's going to lunch one of the cows mutters "Hope they don't have hay again..." And a haystack turns around and quips "YOU hope they don't have hay again!?"

Actually, you must be thinking of something else. Forgetful's version went,

A-klahoma! where the winds blow.....

He used a different vowel every time.

I was just thinking about this sketch. I remember wtahcing it and getting frustrated at Forgetful, because he kept messing up. I thought Clementine was in the sketch, but I guess I was wrong.
