Now take it easy, Mr. Howell. I seriously doubt if you've got the gout. Here, let me take a look.

MR. HOWELL COMES OVER TO THE PROFESSOR AND TAKES HIS SHIRT OFF.

Nice pecs! Work out?

Come on man, get on with it!

Ok, Mr. Howell, open your mouth. Say "ahhhh".

Ahhhhh.

Uh huh, I see. Uh huh, yes. Mr. Howell, you don't have the gout, you have the grippe!

GILLIGAN AND THE SKIPPER WANDER UP.

The grippe?! I don't think so! I feel like -

(interrupting)

Who's got the grippe?

Gilligan, Mr. Howell thought he had the gout, but as it turns out all he has is the grippe.

What's the grippe, anyway?

Oh, Gilligan, don't you know anything? The grippe is, well, it's - Tell him, Professor. Tell Gilligan what the grippe is.

MARY ANN AND GINGER WANDER UP.

Did somebody say "grippe"? I once had the grippe.

What is the grippe? Would somebody please answer me?

I'll answer you Gilligan. It's an awful venereal disease, that's what it is!

GINGER'S MOUTH FLIES OPEN.

Why, I haven't been near Mr. Howell! I swear!

You are all all wet! Hey, "all" and "all". Get it? I think I made a funny!

I don't get it, Professor.

Never mind, Gilligan. You remember that time you helped me try to defuse that nuclear bomb we found near the lagoon? You know the one we made a mistake on and it blew up?

What's this we stuff? You blew up half the island! My hut included! Anyway, what does that defusing foul-up have to do with the grippe?

Not much, I just needed a segue into an atomic bomb joke Mary Ann will now deliver.

MARY ANN DIDN'T HEAR THE PROFESSOR

Hey, did you guys hear the one about the nuclear bomb that blew up New York?

No, Mary Ann, we didn't hear about the nuclear bomb that blew up New York.

Well, there was certainly no more crime!

(laughs)

I don't get it.

Bend over, Mr. Howell, and say, "Ahhhhh!".
