If anyone doesn't know what happened on "q-hanging" (lower-case), here's what happened which was used on SSU# 131:

FG: (first guy walks in, pulls a big lower case Q out of a bag and hangs it
in mid-air, then starts speaking to us) This is the letter Q.
FG: (second guy walks in looking at Q) How'd you do that?
FG: Do what?
SG: How'd you hang that funny looking thing in the air like that?
FG: (calmly but firmly) That's not a funny looking thing.
SG: It looks like a funny looking thing.
FG: That's because you don't know what the letter Q looks like.
SG: I don't know what the letter Q looks like? That's a laugh.
FG: No, THIS is a laugh (laughs), and I still say you don't know what the
letter Q looks like.
SG: I do so! It looks like a..uh..well..it's sort of uh...
FG: Would you like a hint?
SG: Yeah.
FG: (indicating his Q, which has his hat hung on the tail part) Well it
looks exactly like this.
SG: Ohhhhh, you mean that funny looking thing!
FG: (annoyed) Yes, this is the letter Q!
SG: Now you're telling me this is the letter Q?
FG: Yes yes yes, it's the letter Q Q Q! It's used in such words as quick,
quiet, quarrel, and quit! It's the letter Q! Understand?
SG: Perfectly.
FG: Now are there any more questions?
SG: Yeah. How did you do that?
FG: (going to put his hat back on) Do what?
SG: Hang that funny looking thing in the air like that?
FG: (streching out his hat in frustration) THAT'S NOT A FUNNY LOOKING
THING!!!
SG: You're a funny looking thing.

Do you remember this classic 'Q' animation?

Yes, my sister and I love that Q cartoon. :smile: And we always like to reinact that skit with a magnet Q on the fridge and a hat. She played the questioning guy and I played the frustrated guy who pulls his hat down. Our friends always laugh whenever we both do that skit. :smile:
