(FROM "MONEY FOR NOTHING")

That came from a big meathead working in an electrical appliance store in New York. He was watching MTV while moving boxes. I spied on him through a little gap in the microwave section, and the lines he was coming out with were so classic that I had to write them down as fast as possible. He actually said things like, "What's that? Hawaiian noises?" and "maybe get a blister on your little finger." And then he said, "That ain't workin'" . . . Little did he know.
