Saddam Hussein
The chest with confidential files is labeled “H. MADDAS,” which is Saddam H. backwards.
gaffe
The water coolers are labeled “H. MADDAZ” in the flashback, but “H. MADDAS” when Kitty hangs onto them in the final scene. Arguably, the first scene uses the “Z” so that “SADDAM” is more visible in the mirror’s reflection.

Quotes

Michael: What’d he say?

George Michael: Well, if I clean it up, it’s not really a sentence.

Vote: ***** / Average: 4.54 (81 votes)
CONTEXT

G.O.B.: Maybe we’ll meet a couple of young coeds along the way. How young is too young for you?

Michael: Okay, that’s not going to happen. Okay? There’s not gonna be any coeds. There certainly isn’t going to be any magic. It is a path to a lonely life where people mock you and you don’t even realize it.

G.O.B.: But Michael, I’m a magici... Oh, I see what you did.

Anyone get the "YOM" joke? All the spring break tv coverage is on the YOM channel I guess? Is that some crack on MTV? What does YOM stand for?



Back to the nipple thing - Michael says "7th nipple" so let’s count: Safe to assume he saw his own (2), and then he saw Gob’s (2), which leaves three, so either Kitty has three nipples or he only saw one of hers and there’s a missing pair (I’m guessing Tobias’).



Fundamental law of comedy: Odd numbers are always funnier than evens.

I always thought it stood for "Youth-Oriented Music," which would make it a crack on MTV, yes.

It’s Spring Break, I’d say it’s safe to assume he got flashed a couple of times on his way to work. The joke is simply that he only saw one of Kitty’s since they’re not aligned anymore, hence why the nipple count’s now odd.

why does he say ive gotta go, i cant be a WITNESS, IM PART OF THE STORY,

He means that if he’s part of the story (ie. Michael Bluth threatening Kitty) he can’t report on it. I’d assume because it’s a conflict of interest.

That bit where George Michael is on the boat telling Michael about the "awesome mind puzzle". What is the significance of the "TΩA" placard being held behind him?



Is that also a mind puzzle?

My first guess is that it’s some kind of Fraternity or Sorority ensignia because the frat boys/girls love their Spring Break, although the "T" and "A" in it makes me think it might refer to something else...

Cool, I thought it might have been a maths equation of some sort...

#45 hutchwilco wrote on June 16, 2007:

i’m pretty sure the ’T?A’

is referring to the term "T ’n’ A" or "tits and ass" as in "I’m gonna get me some t’n’a tonight. - reflecting the whole spring break theme

#46 yellow bowtie wrote on August 04, 2007:

you guys have the "t" and "a" part of "tΩa" right.



the Ω is the omega symbol which means "end", which sounds almost identical to "and"



a play on words. t"end"a (t&a)
