A tribute to a Great Man

In deference to Cheers, I present you readers with the top "Normisms" of the show:

1. "What's the story, Norm?"
"Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer."

2. "Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?"
"A little early, isn't it, Woody?"
"For a beer?"
"No, for stupid questions.

3. "Hey Norm, how's life in the fast lane?"
"Don't know, can't find the on-ramp."

4. “Can I draw you a beer, Mr. Peterson?”
“No, Woody, I know what one looks like, just pour me one.”

5. "Hey Mr. Peterson. How are things?"
"Never been better, Woody...but just once I wish they'd get better.”

6. "Whatcha know, Norm?"
"I know how to sit. I know how to drink. Wanna quiz me?"
