135. There's a scene in "Bringing Up Baby" (1938, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn)

The question: "Why are you looking for George?" (George is the dog.) Cary Grant responds, "Because he knows where my intercostal clavicle is!" That scene just cracks me up every time, no matter how many times I've seen that hilarious movie.

I'm not going to try to explain that. You just have to watch the movie, to get the context and understand the humor.
