His comedy reminds me of the quote by Getrude Stein "there is no there there".

Don't know how many here will get the reference, but Mortay's appearence here is something akin to a lost dog taken in by a fraternity or sorority.. Many in the house adore it... others find it endlessly annoying.. I'm of the opinion that the Morto can be house-broken. Otherwise, we take him to the pound and drop him off.
