After our freshman year at the UW, most of my high school friends returned to their parent’s homes for the summer. Not me. My parents had moved to Houston for my father’s work & I would not have gone home in any case. I was long gone. But I remember going to the house of a Jewish girlfriend, Jane, let’s call her, & ringing the bell. When her mother opened the door, she turned her head back over her shoulder & without missing a beat, called out, “Jane, it’s the Messiah!” To this day, that may be the funniest ad lib I’ve ever heard. Here’s the evidence. The photo itself is probably from 1970, the sticker with the date representing the last time I paid student activity fees, I think.

Oh my you were furry.
You should put up a picture of you now so we can see you side by side.

I think she could have gotten away with “Jane, Jim Morrison is here” as well.
