...rugby player: If the field's wet, the field hockey and soccer games are called off and the fans go home disappointed. If the field's wet, the rugby game takes place as scheduled and the fans are delighted. If rugby wasn't called rugby it would be called mud. These guys don't let a little sloppy earth stand in the way of their...
...fear that creatures unknown to science are gestating in the sink of their slum flat. They know their agents can give them just as short shrift by long distance. Perhaps a country visit will rescue their faith in the universe's orderliness. Well, they have reckoned without the rain, mud and chill. Or the bull in a neighbor's field.

Or for the holy rage he summoned as he renounced Kathleen Turner with a ferocious "Into the mud, scum queen!" ((clip from The Man with Two Brains)). And who can forget his transsexual transcendence as a man inhabited by a woman ((All of Me)), or his searing indictment of painful dentistry ((Little Shop of Horrors)), or the role that was commonly judged his best performance...
