I remember one of Johnny Carson's Carnac jokes:
Carnac looks at the sealed envelope and says, "Chicken teriyaki. Chicken teriyaki."
He opens the envelope and reads the question, "What is the name of the world's oldest kamikaze pilot."
1. In college I had a professor who liked to write Carnac questions for his exams. He'd give an answer, and we students had to write a question that suited his answer. They weren't easy!
2. Some years after Carson left the tonight show, a series of 30-minute highlight shows were produced. Most all of them began with a Carnac skit. That was unquestionably my favorite character of his.
