5. I had a light switch in my apartment that didn't turn anything on or off
I would just stand there and flick it up and down. Finally the phone rang, it was a lady in Madagascar she said "CUT IT OUT!"

We're starting to repeat ourselves, Allen. So sad. (Edit: I can't find any evidence of this via Advanced Search, so maybe my memory's playing tricks on me. I'm not going to do a line-by-line search of DU1, though.:))

Think of it this way; it could be "Tubular Bells."

22. Perhaps... I Don't Remember. It's Very Likely...
