Which reminds me of a good laugh from a movie, probably Sister Act, where Woopie Goldberg gets trapped in a phone booth which gets picked up by a hook and wench system on the back of a towing truck. The phone booth is then dragged down the street and Woopie is frantically dialing 911 calling for help saying, "You can't miss me. I am a short black woman inside a huge silver box."
