ADD ALLUSIONS
- Mike: I'm like Lucille Ball here. Mike is referring to the famous episode from the I Love Lucy show where Lucy and Ethel are working at a candy factory. The conveyor belts are moving much too fast and they can't keep up. Lucy shoves the candy in her pockets, down her dress, in her hat and in her mouth in an attempt to catch up.
