Empire State of Ed
Ed Says - "New Yorkers don’t eat pork."
My Take - This was said during a conversation about whether or not opening a kolache shop in NYC would be a good business move. New York is a lot like Boston in that there are a lot of donut shops, but this one guy thought bringing something unique, like kolaches would be a good idea. Ed thought otherwise. According to Ed, all New Yorkers are Jews and all kolaches have pork in them. Therefor a kolache shop in NYC would be a complete failure.

Ed Gets Smacked
Ed Says - "When I was a kid, our dad would just punch us right in the face."
My Take - This was overheard as part of a conversation about disciplining children. Most of the women took the spanking route with their kids, but they were retelling stories of how their parents disciplined them as kids. Ed interjected with this morsel. I don't think child abuse is funny... except in this case. It's not funny that he was punched int he face by his dad. It is funny how he just piped up and said it even though he wasn't part of the conversation.

Ed's a Freedom Fry Man
Ed Says - "I've been to France 5 times. Everything there is made in France. You don’t have a choice what to buy. A pair of socks says “made in France” and it costs $12.00. Everything has to be made in France. If you want to import something like a video recorder, it has to be trucked out to this remote village in the alps where this 1 guys opens the box, stamps it, reseals it and then you get it. Everything is made in France."
- I don't know where to begin with how ridiculous this is

Someone Get Ed a Ruler
Ed Says - "Boston has had 60 feet of snow this winter, and NYC has had 40 feet. not inches.. FEET"
Reality says - http://www.boston.com/news/weather/articles/2011/01/28/region_isnt_taking_massive_snow_accumulation_lightly/
My Take - If Ed just knew the difference between feet and inches, or was less emphatic about being dramatic, he would have been correct for the 1st time.... Ever. I mean really Ed, did you expect anyone to think your claim was accurate? 60 feet of snow would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of homes being crushed. 60 feet is nearly twice as high as the Green Monster at Fenway park.
Maybe saying off the wall crap like this is his way of scaring people into thinking his ice age theory is on target and that they'll go out and buy space suits.
