Second in a series of Laurel and Hardy tribute caches.

Sons of the Desert was a feature film made in 1933 and is a Laurel and Hardy classic.
The Ruler: Do you all solemnly swear to be present at our 87th Annual Convention at Chicago?
The Group (thunderously): I do!
Stan: Me too!
The Ruler: Whole-heartedly unanimous!

Oliver: Why didn't you want to take the oath?
Stan: I was afraid.
Oliver: Of what?
Stan: I was afraid that if I took the oath, that my wife wouldn't let me go. And the Exhausted Ruler said that if... you took an oath, it would have to be broken for... generations and... centuries of... hundreds of years and my wife would let...
Ollie: Do you have to ask your wife everything?
Stan: Well, if I didn't ask her, I wouldn't know what she wanted me to do.

Oliver: Now why did you hire a veterinarian?
Stan: I didn't think his religion would make any difference.

Oliver: Now isn't this nice?
Stan: It sure is. We're just like two peas in a pot.
Ollie: Not pot. Pod-duh. Pod-duh.
Stan: Pod-duh.

Oliver: To catch a Hardy they've got to get up very early in the morning.
Stan: What time?
Oliver: Oh about half past - "What time." Hmph.

Oliver: Where is she?
Stan: Maybe she went to the mountains.
Oliver: I'll bet she did. You know she makes me sick.
Stan: Well if she didn't go to the mountains, then Muhammad would have to come here.

Ollie: We were sailing along in clear weather, when all of a sudden, a terrible storm came up. Didn't it, Stanley?
Stan: Yeah, and then we floundered in a typhoid!
Oliver: Not typhoid, he means typhoon, sugar. Then the ship started to sink, and we both dived overboard. Didn't we, Stan?
Stan: Yes, just as the boat was going down for the third time.
Oliver: And here we are.

Oliver: What did Betty say?
Stan: Betty said that honesty was the best politics.
