Vital Information
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Seated at a desk piled with books beneath posters of absurd facts, Lori Beth Denberg presents another edition of Vital Information. Her first tip turns leftover fishing bait into a dinner prank on a little brother, her second runs through a familiar nursery rhyme only to fret over the hat it ruined, and her third answers a friendly farewell with a stomp on the foot before she signs off.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 1
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat, and later realized he'd ruined a perfectly good hat.
If someone comes up to you and says, "Have a nice day!" stomp hard on his foot and say, "Have a broken toe."
A little extra

If you go fishing and you don't use all the worms, put cheese on them. Give them to your little brother and tell him it's Wormaronian cheese.
