about Milwaukee.

He was a guest on the (at the time) very popular TV show "Night Court". He was talking with character Bull Shannon (played by actor Richard Moll).

He said something to the effect of "Where I come from it is like being in the middle of Milwaukee. You could get in a cab and go two hundred miles, and you'll still be in the middle of Milwaukee. You could get in a plane and go two thousand miles and you'd still be in the middle of Milwaukee."

At which point, Bull's head was about to explode thinking about that imagery, and he yelled "STOP!"

I find it quite (ahem) "amusing" that the RNC, with their presumptive nominee, Dumpy the Clown, would be so 'Russia-fied' as to put their convention in this city, of all years. I'm sure Milwaukee is a fine city. However, it is being invaded by the Red Army in a few months. Russia? RNC? Umm.... yes.

The name of the episode was called "World War III" and aired in 1985.
