A list of puns related to "No Introduction"
One of the classic Ā Abbott and Costello Ā routines, where Bud Abbott takes advantage of a common math mistake that we all make to fleece his pal, Lou Costello, out of all of his money. Ā The skit ends with a simple āread my mindā routine that takes Louās last remaining bill. Ā This routine was done Ā many Ā times, both in the movies and their radio show.
Bud Abbott: Do me a favor, loan me $50.
Lou Costello: Bud, I canāt. I canāt loan you $50.
Bud Abbott: Oh, yes, ya can.
Lou Costello: No, I canāt. All I got is $40.
Bud Abbott: All right, give me the $40 and youāll owe me 10 Ā
Lou Costello: Ok, Iāll owe you 10.
Bud Abbott: Thatās right.
Lou Costello: How come I owe you 10?
Bud Abbott: How much did I ask for?
Lou Costello: 50
Bud Abbott: How much did you give me?
Lou Costello: 40.
Bud Abbott: So you owe me $10.
Lou Costello: Thatās right. Ā [Pause] But you owe me 40.
Bud Abbott: Donāt change the subject.
Lou Costello: Iām not changing the subject; youāre trying to change my finances. Come on, Abbott give me my $40.
Bud Abbott: All right, thereās your $40, now give me the 10 you owe me.
Lou Costello: Iām paying you on account.
Bud Abbott: On account?
Lou Costello: On account I donāt know how I owe it to ya.
Bud Abbott: Thatās the way you feel about it, thatās the last time I ask you for a loan of $50.
Lou Costello: But how can I loan ya $50, now. All I got is 30.
Bud Abbott: Well, give me the 30 and youāll owe me 20.
Lou Costello: Ok. This is getting worse all the time. (Look at audience) First I owe him 10, now I owe him 20.
Bud Abbott: Well, why do you run yourself into debt?
Lou Costello: Iām not running in, youāre pushing me!1
Bud Abbott: I canāt help it if you canāt handle your finances. I do all right with my money.
Lou Costello: And you do all right with my money too.
Bud Abbott: Now I asked you for a loan of $50. You gave me 30, so you owe me 20. 20 and 30 is 50.
Lou Costello: No. No. No. 25 and 25 is 50.
Bud Abbott: All right, hereās your $30, now give me the 20 you owe me. Fine guy, wonāt loan a pal $50.
I was at a meeting full of people who had never met before. We were doing the basic introductions and I heard one guy introduce himself as Noah. The conversation went as follows:
"Hi my name's Noah."
"Noah, well that'll be easy to remember!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Sure, now every time I see you I will No-ah you!"
