One character was being considered to "sleep with the fishes," so in a dream sequence, he appeared as a talking fish head at a sidewalk market. This led to a joke later on when the dreamer encountered a Big Mouth Billy Bass toy and had disturbing flashbacks.

Being diabetic, he went out of his way for years to avoid any infections or other hazards, but his luck had run out. On Christmas Day, he was informed by the doctors that they would have to amputate his foot the next morning. Go »

Bombed Back to the Jurassic Age
