From an old issue of the Cerebus comic before it went downhill, there's a scene where two of the Marx brothers, who are politicians in the story, get cornered by a very earnest, pushy salesman who doesn't speak English very well, who wants government money for a project.

"Good afterdawn! I will be saying to every each of you... name be Scorz of Scorz, Scorz and Sons. I am here for talking at you Sewage, Sewage, Sewage!"

"Well, you've come to the right place."

"All over the states of the coming together Feldwar is nothing but Sewage, Sewage, Sewage..."

"Who is dissa guy?"
"I don't know, but so far he hasn't said anything I've disagreed with..."

"Please to I am talking at famous the Lord Palnu and famous the also Duke, Duke, Duke of Leonardi...no? You be much now interested for 'Away the sewage', no?"

"Whadda should I say?"
"I don't know, but I'd stay away from running water if I were you."

"We sincere-talk, now! Say 'Sewage for keeps'... yes? no? This is both... both say 'Scorz Sewage away is only way! Yes? Yes??"

"Whadda we do?"
"I'm tempted to take him up on his offer just to find out what he's talking about..."

(lunging forward) "Yes! Yes! Yes! Percent smell of fifty for really and also true!"

"'Ey!"

"Guaranteed smell!"

"On the other hand, you can be too careful about these things..."

"Make for you offer 'Too easy to install smell' - amazing is the smell!"

"We take-a you word-a for it..."
"You don't suppose he carries a sample case, do you?"
