Ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham: "I was in Dallas at the Improv and there, in the second row, was a small person, a midget, who had come to see the show with his friend. And he had kept drinking a lot during the show, and a couple of times he popped off to Peanut [his puppet]. I had a couple of comeback lines, but really, what I am I gonna do, pick on the guy? So, finally, he got really obnoxious and Peanut slammed him with one good ad-lib, and it got a really big laugh. And this guy jumped up on top of his table and mooned us! No drunken, mooning midget ad-lib was in my arsenal. It was one of the few times both Peanut and I just stood there in silence. I really couldn't figure out what to say... Now I have ad-lib lines ready."
