The Bad Barbecue

Mother is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well your father says so and your father knows best. Yes, its father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father. The half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson's.

Brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House. The coffee that's always good to the last drop. It was Byron who said, all history attests that happiness for man, the hungry sinner, since Eve ate apples much depends on dinner.

Well, if you were making plans for a dinner party, you'd probably start with a fruit cocktail or can of faze or oysters on the half-shelf, something like that. In Springfield, however, in the White Frame House on Maple Street, they do things in a much more logical way.

When Jim Anderson plans a dinner, he starts in a basic concrete manner, like this. Alright bud, let me have a cement. Here you are, Dad. Thank you. Now, wait a minute. You didn't use the whole sack.

Didn't you want me to? But that's enough cement to build a second boulder dam. Well gosh, I didn't know. You just said to mix it. We're building a barbecue pit, not another porch for the White House.

Jim, I told you in the very beginning. I know you don't approve, but I guarantee that when I get through, we'll have the finest brick barbecue in Springfield. Garmons had a sale of portable barbecues, and there was no reason...

That's the trouble with this family. They're always buying things. Wouldn't you much rather use something you'd built yourself? Not if someone else can build it better. Margaret, why do you assume that someone else can build a barbecue better than I can?
