Coney Island Pun of the Evening That Keeps a 2-Day Riff Going

Ace: How is Big Al's Chicago Hot Dog Palace supposed to compete against Nathan's?

Aileen (gesturing at closed corrugated gate): Well, you can see it hasn't done so well.

Ace: I guess Big Al is defunct?

(Pause while we wait for light to change)

Aileen (with slow headturn and slower grin): Like Lionel Richie, baby.

Ace: (facepalm)
