*sneezes* This mustache tickles my nose.

A weird but unrelated fact: When my hearing aids poke my ear the wrong way, it makes me shiver even if I'm not cold.
:cool:

And not rich Corinthian leather.

sorry, that was really funny but you're too young to remember those ads for Chrysler cars lol. Ricardo Montalban stroking the "rich Corinthian leather", oh, never mind.

As long as your moustache does not tickle your ears you will be okay and may continue in your espionage capacities.

I knew you wouldn't. Dang, it's tough when you make a great joke and people are too young to get it. There was an absolutely ridiculously stinko T.V. show called Fantasy Island (from the people who brought us the equally appalling Love Boat) which was on for years in the abysmal '80s. The star of Fantasy Island was an actor named Ricardo Montalban, who speaks with a very heavy Spanish accent. Chrysler cars hired him for a series of idiotic T.V. ads in which he sat around stroking the interiors and talking about their rich Corinthian leathers. It became a standing water-cooler sort of joke to mimic him, it was so bad. The cars were absolute garbahhhggge yet they had these fab interiors. They'd fall apart around you while you were driving but by God you still had your rich Corinthian leather to show for it. There are reasons why Chrysler is out of business. There's your trivia for the day lol. Believe me, you'd rather be a Corinthian column.

Ricardo Mantalban is groovy! I know him primarily, though, as Khan of "The Wrath of Khan" (and the original episode). I love his voice. :big_grin:

On the video of the Best of John Candy(from his SCTV days),Eugene Levy does a very good Mr. Rourke impression. Yes,Ricardo made a very good villan as Kahn.
