I live (and work) roughly 35 miles southeast of Fresno in Visalia and go to or through Fresno regularly. I may not be somebody, but I am certainly not nobody. ;~)

I was quoting a line from the movie Airplane II the sequal.

Controller discussing his family vacation, "And then we went to Bakersfield and then we ended up in Fresno."

Johny overhearing, "Fresno? No one goes to Fresno anymore."

You reminded me a the line, and one of my former coworkers who would always quote lines from either Spaceballs or the Airplane movies. I thought it appropriate since both Airplane! and Airplane! II were released in the 80s.

Enjoy!

Ah, yes. The Airplane movies. I've seen them many times. Many inuendos throughout them.

Spaceballs was another good one as is the Police Academy movie series.

"DON'T MOVE, DIRTBAG!" Cadet Laverne Hooks

I'm not sure which Police Academy movie it is, but one of the funniest scenes is when Commandant Eric Lassard excuses himself during a meeting with the mayor and procedes to use the men's room with his wireless microphone amplifying his noises throughout the meeting room.
