if you can, try to work in alot of "tantamount to expropriation" jokes
use that term alot even incorrectly and make him expain what it is
when he corrects you

say canadian enron stockholders that "weren't in the loop" could sue the U.S. government under
chapter 11 of the NAFTA agreement for the deregulation policies that
caused their stock to become worthless. state this with dead seriousness
as if it were a legitimate story, say you read it in the "Vancouver Echo" (news paper)

or always describe ken lay as "presidential material" and speculate over
whether or not this enron thing will hurt his candidacy for 2008
or if he chose to run as a democrat in 2004 better yet when ever  you mention
ken lay say he's doing a really good job in this war against terrorism
and that you think it would be really bad for america if he were impeached
...again dead seriousness

the show sounds pretty goofy, i would be surprised if that old lady weren't
paid by that show. you might as well get some good jokes/pranks in
