Oh Yeah And One More Thing,There Was ALso A Skit From 1971 Where Grover Serves Simon The Soundman But I Just Don't Remember What Happened Definately Like Before.I'm Sure Someone Else Could Answer It For You As Long As They Just Know It! Well,Bye Bye Now!

I remember that shetch. Simon came in and asked for a chicken sandwich. But instead of saying "chicken" he made a clucking sound, so Grover couldn't figure out what he was asking for. He brought out several different sandwiches. I can't remember them all, but one was a guitar sandwick, and I think another was a telephone sandwich. Simon would say to each, "I didn't ask for a <insert sound> sandwich, I asked for a <clucking sound> sandwich"

Well Grover finally figured it out and was ready to get him the chicken sandwich, when Simon said he changed his mind. He asked for a hot <barking sound> with mustard and relish.

Then I think Grover did his trademark faint.

I know of one other Sesame Street sketch in which a mistake was supposedly made, and they decided to keep it in for unique dramatic effect. It was the Grover the Waiter skit in which Fat Blue ordered a bowl of hot alphabet soup, and made sure that it indeed had the entire English alphabet. Twice he had to call Grover back to get missing letters from the kitchen (which I might add were rather large, about 2 inches high. Most alphabet soups I've eaten have letters about 1/8th that tall.) As he came to the letter "Y"... (best as I can recall):

FAT BLUE: "U, V, W, X, Y... Uh, Waiter!!"

GROVER: (runs up) "Yessir!"

FAT BLUE: "There is no 'Y' in my soup. Oops, I was wrong. There is a 'Y'"

GROVER: (glancing in bowl) "I see the 'Y' there..."

FAT BLUE: "It's the 'Z'. I can't eat this soup without a 'Z'"

My understanding that getting the Y and Z mixed up was an actual mistake on the part of the Muppeteer.

That can be found in episode #276, the third season premiere. It is also the very first "Grover the Waiter" sketch.

What's really great is when Frank has Grover mumbling about the mistake. ("See? You can't have everything!" "First a 'Y', then a 'Z',...") Lol!

Fat Blue and Simon Soundman

Were Fat Blue and Simon Soundman brothers?

In addition to looking remarkably similar, I heard that this was mentioned once on the show. In that one sketch where Soundman was at Grover's restaurant, he says under his breath at one point something like. "Boy, my brother was right, the service here is lousy." Can anyone confirm?
