Harry Caray: Hey everybody, Harry Caray here! Well, as you know, 1997 was quite a year! A lot of things happened: some good, some bad. Mother Teresa died. That wasn't good. Unless you hated Mother Teresa. I, myself, was not a fan of hers, don't ask why! We were like oil and water; we didn't mix. In the world of sports, Mike Tyson bit a man's ear off. I don't know what all the hoopla was about. I've actually bit a man's ear off on several occasions! And I'm not proud of it, but it helped me out of many a jam! In Scotland, they cloned a sheep, which a lot of people thought was fun....Hey, what if...hey!...Hey! If I was a scientist, you know what I would clone? Hot dogs!
Colin: [not surprised] Really?
Harry: Think of all the possibilities, Norm! [Colin starts laughing to himself] Imagine, a world with...[doesn't realize that Colin is now the anchor] Hey, what's going on? [some applause]...Imagine...hold on! Imagine a world, uh...of - with an endless supply of hot dogs! You could have a hot dog anytime you wanted!
Colin: Well, Harry, you can do that pretty much now.
Harry: They'd be so abundant, they'd become our currency! 20 hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel. Depending on the strength of the yen, I'm not quite sure, but...you know what, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just keep praying that we can clone one of these hot dogs.
Colin: [sighs] All right, Harry. What else happened in '97?
Harry: Hey, Norm! Did you gain weight?
Colin: Actually, Harry, I'm Colin.
Harry: Hey! If you were a hot dog...and you were starving, would you eat yourself?
Colin: What?
Harry: I know I would! First, I'd smother myself with brown mustard and relish. I'd be so delicious!...So would you?
Colin: I don't know.
Harry: Don't jerk me around, Norm! It's a simple question! A baby could answer it! If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself? [some applause and cheers]
