one reason I like cornergas - witty repartee

Brent, the gas station owner has a scheme to find out how tall Wanda, his employee, is. He elicits the help of Hank the handyman/loafer that hangs out at the gas station and the cafe. When the plan doesn't work, because Wanda tricks Hank, Brent says: "Why do I even involve you in my schemes?"
Hank replied thoughtfully: "Maybe you are afraid of success on some level."

Don't know if it will come across as funny as it did when I heard it in this blog. Maybe you had to be there. But really, that was a classic response.

I love that show. I can hear the conversation in my head, so it made me laugh!
