Reminds me of a favorite exchange in POGO. Porky's Uncle Baldwin has gotten hold of the idea that Churchy has a million dollars, and pitches him a scheme to get rich selling something every housewife needs on washday: a secret detergent ingrediment! "I'll whisper it ----- It's --- dirt ---- get it? D-I-R-T. Dirt."

A few days later, Baldwin is complaining, so Churchy generously says, "I'll give you back the name of the secret ingrediment ---- Listen close now, it's dirt ---- get it? Hello, Uncle Baldwin, are you there? It's DIRT --- D like in DIRT--- I like in DIRT--- R like in DIRT--- T like in Orange Pekoe."
