You kinda forget just how funny some people can be, but then they die & you fixate on the few memories of their comedy that your memory can muster.

I remember this one but struggled to find it till now.

The banter is pure adlib, there is no script writing team behind it, it is simply 2 comedy genius's bouncing off each other.

I have used the credit card / toilet paper line a few times, but I totally forgot about the link between missing the bowl & sex, where I think the comedy genius of Joan caught out the comedy genius of Barry . . . .

Enjoy :
