It's a little known fact that I coined the phrase "going Todd in a theater" and also the shortened version, just "going Todd". I have copyrighted, trademarked, and patented this term, in the hopes that one day it will be a common household phrase, and I can hire Dusty to extract damages from every person in America who utters it, and become a zillionaire.
That's hot.

I loved the phrase "going Todd in a theater". To get the rights in the U.K., Canada, and Down Under, you'll also need to copyright it with the spelling "theatre".
Edited because I spelled "theatre" right, but not "the". My "the" wouldn't have worked anywhere in the British empire.

Ok guys, you're leaving me completely out of this business venture! What about my royalties???
I don't remember signing my rights away....hehehehe.
My people will be in contact with your people....and I think we should publicize this to coincide with my new book: "How to Watch Movies and Influence People."

While I was teaching a class in Charlotte last week, one of the students took two phone calls in the middle of the class - didn't get up to leave, just carried on a conversation right there while I was talking. At the beginning of the class I had asked that all cell phones be turned off or put on vibrate, but I guess that was for everyone else.
I needed Todd to patrol the class for me.

I'm starting to see a niche market opening up for me.....hehehe.
Raymond....here's a great way to stop those calls from happening: Buy yourself a Sports Horn...this is a can of compressed air and when you squeeze the trigger it lets out a horrendously high decibel horn blast.
The next time this kid takes a call just squeeze off a blast every time he tries to talk. He'll get the message.

Brilliant! Perfect, too, for those lovely telemarketers. Just speak with a low voice so you know they've got the earpiece right up against their ear and BAAAAAAAAAAAARP..
