Ah, but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them

• The Caine Mutiny
  

... you may tell the crew for me that there are four ways of doing things in my Emporium: The right way, the wrong way, the Evil Empire way, and my way. They do things my way, and we'll get along.

Ok, so I'm taking liberties with the quotes, but is it just me or do the stories Ted tells indicate a degree of insanity in the Evil Empire?

Today was very different from yesterday; all Ted's customers appeared to be sane, in need of the products he could offer them, and appreciative of his efforts to provide them with what they needed. All in all a very satisfactory day spent with good folks.

There was not much time available for socializing with Wee Jeanie or Buddy so Senga had an ecstatic day! Although Ted did go in early and had a few minutes with Buddy "off the clock" and discovered another thing they have in common:
They both watched "The Dirty Dozen" on TV last night and both their wifes disapproved whilst they think it's a great film!
