Ernie and Bert: Ernie Gets Thirsty

Ernie won't stop saying how thirsty he is, no matter how many glasses of water Bert brings him. Even after he's finished, he still won't stop: "Boy, was I thirsty."
==Notes==
* The sketch is based on an old joke, of Jewish origin, often included in books on Jewish or Yiddish humor. In the traditional joke, the thirsty person is a man on a train (usually) in an upper berth keeping his fellow passenger awake by saying "Oy, am I thirsty" over and over (and repeating the same in the past tense once sated). The joke was also included in condensed form on the 1965 comedy album You Don't Have to Be Jewish.
