Brian Reagan at the spelling bee...

"I remember my teacher asked me, Brian, what'sthe 'i' before 'e' rule?
Um...I before e always.
What are you, an idiot, Brian?
Apparently.
So she explains it, No, Brian, it's:
'i' before 'e' except after 'c'
and when sounding like 'a'
as in neighbor and weigh
and on weekends and holidays
and all throughout May
and you'll always be wrong
no matter what you say.
That's a hard rule. That's a rough rule."

"What's the plural for moose? Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of 'em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods...in the wood-es...in the woodsen. The meese want the food in the woodesen...food is the eatenesen...the meese want the food in the woodesenes...food in the woodesenes."
