Yeah, Art, Why is It So Cold?

Judge Harry T. Stone: Why is it so cold?

Art Fensterman: Well Sir, on earth's trip around the sun, the northern hemisphere

[Harry Stands up and puts a computer mouse in Art's mouth, shutting him up]

Art Fensterman: Art! What I'm asking is, is it possible to take the chill off the air in here?

[Then he removes the mouse from Art's mouth]

Art Fensterman: [Unfazed] Well, I suppose I could go bang Bertha.

Judge Harry T. Stone: [With a puzzled look] Excuse me.

Art Fensterman: Bertha, the furnance. You bang her in just the right spot and she puts out some pretty good heat.
