Wind ruins burger ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Grover is funny when he encounters the bald, blue Anything Muppet.

The bald, blue Anything Muppet is funny when he encounters Grover.

Put 'em together, and by golly, they're funny!

Everywhere the bald guy goes, he meets Grover. Grover works at an indoor restaurant, an airline, a pizza delivery place, and now at an outdoor eatery too...

That segment has been around since at least 1993 and aired at least as recently as 2001. Some viewers say this is their all-time favorite sketch involving the bald guy and Grover.

Does anybody else think that a side view of Grover talking resembles Pac-Man?

A decade ago, The Last Word devoted much coverage to a customer at Wendy's who I saw eating a hamburger after dropping it on the filthy floor. I'm not talking about a little kid here. This was a grown man! If that guy was in this sketch, he'd probably gather all the parts of the wind-scattered burger and wolf them right down.
