The Ipswich name is unusual enough that it stuck in my memory, and that whole episode is one of my favourites. Please do not, however, ask me where I set my car keys ten minutes ago...?

I recall some comedian working the line ‘the boat sinks!’ into their routine mocking the hoopla surrounding the movie. I always thought Hader was going to get fired over lampooning Keith Morrison.
