It's from Jambi (That may not be the correct spelling), Pee-Wee's
friend.
Jambi was gienie who would occasionaly grant Pee Wee wishes on "Pee
Wee's Playhouse."
Before Pee Wee's Playhouse became a children's TV Show, it was a
stage
performance with a more adult theme. Jambi ordered a pair of hands (in
both
versions, Jambi was just a head in a box) and when they arrived, he said,
"Thanks. I've got something to do that I've been wanting to do for a long
time." (paraphrased)
In the stage performance that aired on HBO back in the 80's, Jambi
granted Pee Wee the wish to fly.
A bit of trivia: Captain Carl, a salty old sea dog, was played by
Phil
Hartman. He played the role in the first season of the children's version
of the show.
Some more trivia: S. Epatha Merkerson (Lt. Van Buren on Law & Order)
played the part of the mail lady in the children's version.
No, I don't know why I remember the actor's and the parts they
played,
but I do tend to win Trivial Persuit. :)
The thing is, I quote a well known, to the Romani at least, saying.
Greg, displaying his undying HATE for anything not white, mocks it. This,
in and of itself, isn't a big deal. Greg has every right to hate whatever
he wants. And he has the right to express that hate.
Of course, I have the right to point his hate if and when I wish.
The thing I wonder is why Greg keep presenting evidence of his racial
and ethnic HATE when he doesn't want people to think he's the Greg Hanson
who wrote the racist rant I occasionaly use as a .sig. I don't think I'll
ever know the reason.

Not at all, though I doubt Greg was thinking along those lines. He
simply wanted to express his hate for an ethic group that isn't white.
The Nazis didn't like the Romani either. This was due to the fact
that
by Nazi standards, the Romani are more "Aryan" than the Nazis. Seriously.
