I'm sure there many others who know or have already posted the answer to this,
but I can't help it...

SPOILER

It's from Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It. I believe it's from
the sitcom sequence in the game-- I can't remember the exact title... "Make
Me Laugh"? Someone tell me please.

By the way, Nord and Bert was an AWESOME game! It was so fun and light-hearted,
and especially good for all word-lovers and sesquepedilians out there. I can
see a lot of people disliking Nord and Bert, though. But it's by Jeff O'Neill,
who also wrote... Ballyhoo, which I thought was the BEST mystery (hmm... maybe
Suspect) made. I wouldn't mind more mysteries, they tend to be more character-
interactive, or interactive in general.
