I know, right? That scene, the first time I saw it, actually made me fall out of my chair -- I'd seen the cut-for-tv episode a zillion times, and then my mom bought me some of the tapes, including that one, and I was all *rotfl* (literally).

What were they thinking, is what I am wondering. I guess we'll never really know. (Wasn't that one of Sturgeon's episodes? I think it was.)
