Dancing Without Rhythm

So, I've been watching Arrested Development. I'm consistently surprised at how much it can make me laugh. I'm hopelessly in love with Buster. He does his character so well, it's hard not to be. His compulsive back massaging, his delight in foul-mouthed construction workers....
Anyway, I have only seen most of the first season, so I may be speaking too soon, but I have a favorite. It's the one with flashbacks to the "lessons" George Sr teaches his kids. He uses a one-armed man to terrify the kids beyond reason for fairly benign offenses.

Here is the quote that has had me laughing all day:

Michael (who's son he thinks might need a "lesson"): I want the guy with the one arm and the fake blood. J. Walter Weatherman. How do I get a hold of him?

George Sr.: Well, he's, uh, dead. You killed him when you left the door open with the air conditioner on.
